[Apache DS] Slf4j Dependency

[Alessandro Benedetti <ab...@apache.org>]

Hi developers,
Playing with maven dependencies and a project I had a lot of troubles
because using this maven dep :

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.apache.directory.server</groupId>
 <artifactId>apacheds-all</artifactId>
 <version>1.5.5</version>
 <type>jar</type>
 <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

It was implicitly overwriting my class loading for Slf4j classes.

This was really weird so analysing the jar, we discovered that
apaches-all contains hardcoded some Slf4j classes ...

Upgrading to 2.0 partially solved the issue as we got a newer version
of Slf4j hardcoded that was not conflicting anymore with the rest of
the project.

So my question:

Are we doing something wrong using that del ?

Why is Slf4j hardcoded inside that ?

Cheers

Right.

Looking at apacheds-all, it's a black box that is totally useless...

We should have just included all teh apacheds dependencies, excluding
all the others.

I see no other option but adding all the needed dependencies atm. We
will fix the apacheds-all so that it does not import the external
dependencies.

The problem seems to be that the Slf4j del is hardcoded in apaches-all.
Not included with maven.
Setting the scope to provided ( to what ? apaches-all ? slf4j-api) doesn't
seem an option to me.

Cheers

Have you tried to use <scope>provided</scope> instead ?

Using the scope compile, which is the default btw, will pull all the
transitive dependencies from apacheds-all.
