Are you aware of jcl104-over-slf4j.jar ? http://slf4j.org/manual.html#gradual In other words, you can still use library X, e.g. Spring, which depends on JCL. However, if you replace commons-logging.jar with jcl104-over-slf4j.jar, then the selection of the underlying logging system will be done by SLF4J without the class loader headaches. The underlying logging system can be any of NOP, simple, jdk14 logging, log4j or NLOG4J. Spring's commons-logging dependency becomes a moot issue. I hope this is relevant to the discussion.
