[slf4j-dev] slf4j artifact groupings

[Chad La Joie]

I use slf4j in a number of projects, some of which are libraries.  For 
the libraries I like to include all the bridge (e.g. slfj4j-log4j13) and 
adapter (e.g. jcl-over-slf4j) jars with the library distribution so that 
people downloading the library don't have to then go and grab the slf4j 
distribution as well.

However, from a maven perspective, doing this kind of a pain because 
there is no way to distinguish between the core slf4j artifacts, the 
bridge artifacts, and the adapter artifacts.  So I would like to 
recommend change the group ID for the bridge and adapter artifacts to 
signify which they are.  For example, using the group IDs 
org.slf4j.adapter and org.slf4j.bridge.

With this I could create assemblies as followed:
<dependencySet>
     <outputDirectory>/lib/slf4j-adpater</outputDirectory>
     <includes>
         <include>org.slf4j.adapter:*</include>
      </includes>
</dependencySet>

Does this seem reasonable?
