Re: [orbit-dev] Slf4j into Orbit

SLF4J is quite an interesting library in that it provides a relatively OSGi
friendly logging facade. I've already gone through the initial CQ round
here when I was experimenting with an updated OSGi logging story.
I didn't move this into Orbit simple because I haven't had time to really
make use of it. The approved version was from about a year ago so there
maybe value in doing an update.

As an aside you mention Jetty 6 -- we just got approval for Jetty 6.1.7 and
Servlet 2.5.
We also have signoff to update the exisiting Jetty  to 5.1.14.
These will be coming soon to Orbit.

I believe Jetty 6.1.7 has dropped the SLF4J dependency so barring any
unforseen problems I'm not planning on adding SLF4J to Orbit for now.
Feel free to go ahead yourself.
