Description

After pulling in the log4j-slf4j-impl I was surprised to find out that I also needed to add the the log4j-core dependency myself instead of the dependency pulled in automatically from the log4j-slf4j-impl pom. I was expecting the behavior provided by slf4j-log4j12 which does pull in the appropriate implementation to get going immediately.
