Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Can SLF4J be made the official logging AP

Ed,

Looking at this:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.15-I-builds/http___download.eclipse.org_eclipse_updates_4.15-I-builds_I20200124-1800.html

The platform does include that in it's repo:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.15-I-builds/http___download.eclipse.org_eclipse_updates_4.15-I-builds_I20200124-1800/org.slf4j.api_1.7.2.v20121108-1250.html

That's because this requires it:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-03/http___download.eclipse.org_releases_2020-03_201901171000/org.eclipse.equinox.core.sdk.feature.group_3.19.200.v20200107-1357.html#org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu;_org.slf4j.api_[1.7.2.v20121108-1250,1.7.2.v20121108-1250]

But I don't think that feature is contributed to the train, so maybe the 
following is misleading to indicate that it does:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/simrel/equinox.aggrcon/index.html

There are two versions of this in the latest train repository:

https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/archive/reports/download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-03/http___download.eclipse.org_releases_2020-03_201901171000.html

Oddly the one with the higher version number has the older version 
quality date.

Managing to get this down to one consistent version will likely be as 
challenging as getting anything to be consistent on the train.

Regards,
Ed
