           Summary: LOGBack 0.9.6 doesn't build
           Product: logback-general
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: build-structure
        AssignedTo: logback-dev at qos.ch
        ReportedBy: agerwe at acxiom.com


I need SLF4J 1.4.0 for commons-configuration, so I'm very anxious to upgrade.
However, I found two problems with LOGBack 0.9.6 that prevent it from building
correctly:

* The pom.xml references slf4j-api:1.4.0-SNAPSHOT, not 1.4.0 as it should. This
prevents maven from finding an official build at iBiblio.

* After fixing the SLF4J version, I get this error while running tests:
    Running ch.qos.logback.classic.BasicLoggerTest
    |-WARN in ch.qos.logback.core.read.ListAppender[null] - Attempted to append
to non started appender [null].

I can work around this with -Dmaven.test.skip=true, but I'm a little nervous
about failed tests.

If you release a new version, I exhort you to number it 0.9.7, 0.9.6a, 0.9.6.1
or something else distinct. Reusing version numbers is a major headache,
especially with Maven/iBiblio and provides no benefit to *anybody* except maybe
a developer who wants to pretend they're perfect.

Thank you for the excellent work on SLF4J and LOGBack. They are both excellent
steps forward for Java applications. I cringe when I have to use anything else!

It does seem like there's a long delay before your stuff shows up in iBiblio; I
wonder if there's anything you could do to get it there right away...
