[slf4j-user] Possible packaging regression in jcl-over-slf4j 1.1.0-RC1

[david varnes]

Ceki,

Upgrading jcl104-over-slf4j from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0-RC1  in a web
app using:
   axis-1.4.jar
   axis-jaxrpc-1.4.jar
   commons-discovery-0.4.jar
throws the exception at the bottom of this email.  Using 1.0.1
works fine.  There is definately no version of the original
jcl jars in the environment.

This seems to be due to an omission in the META-INF/services
directory of the 1.1.0-RC1 jar.   This makes sense since the 1.1.0
series went through a different packaging build process.

Seems we have regressed this fix. Another David, same problem !  :-)
