>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Maven SCR Plugin
>    Affects Versions:  maven-scr-plugin-1.4.4
>            Reporter: Michael Dürig
>
> Using comment tags and having a dependency on slf4j-api causes the scr plugin to throw a NoClassDefFoundError:
> java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder
> 	at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.<clinit>(LoggerFactory.java:60)
> 	at com.day.crx.spi.sharepoint.resource.SharepointResourceProvider.<clinit>(SharepointResourceProvider.java:60)

> A workaround is to add a 'dummy' dependency to i.e. slf4j-simple. But then
> [WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found:
> [WARNING]    org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:jar:1.5.0:provided
> Furthermore when the 'dummy' dependency has the wrong version, the scr plugin might throw other errors:
> java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: name
> 	at org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerAdapter.<init>(Log4jLoggerAdapter.java:75)
> 	at org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory.getLogger(Log4jLoggerFactory.java:75)
> 	at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:103)

> I think such errors should be handled more gracefully indicating the source of the problem. Also it should not be necessary to have a 'dummy' dependencies. This was not the case up to version 1.4.1. 
> If it is absolutely necessary to include such dummy dependencies, the plugin should state so in its error message. Also the slf4j case is so common that it might be worth to considering a specific solution/workaround for this in the plugin. This is still much better than forcing all clients to analyze the problem from the stacktrace and then implement workarounds.
