[slf4j-user] Trying to use log4j-over-slf4j

[Raymond Cramer]

Hi Ceki,

Thanks for the rapid response. They are defined as Maven dependencies, slf4j-api is 1.5.5 and log4j-over-slf4j is 1.5.4.

I have no idea what versions the netcdf package was expecting.

Hope thats clearer
Ray

You would replace log4j.jar only if you wish to use a different logging 
implementation, say java.util.logging or logback. If you wish to stick with 
log4j, then stick to log4j.jar.

That's strange. Have you placed slf4j-api.jar and slf4j-log4j12.jar on the class 
path? If you have, which versions are you using?
