Re: jar bundling query

Hi Stuart:

I recently updated the web page to explain that all jars now need an slf4j 
implementation. The problem with bundling is that then the application cant 
decide which logger to use. However, perhaps it would be better to bundle it 
and let people remove it if they have to??

"All libraries (except toolsUI.jar) require an SLF4J library such as slf4j-jdk14.jar 
(14k) or nlog4j.jar (202k). We need to keep logging unbundled so your application has a 
choice of logging. All but the minimal library also need (at least) the JDOM library. The 
toolsUI jar has everything, use it if you arent worried about size."
