Sorting out logging dependencies redux: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/JPAR-57
- Proposal:
  - logback-classic and the slf4j bridges become managed "runtime" dependencies
  - logback-classic included globally as a "test" dependency
  - Either:
    - slf4j bridges not included as dependencies by default, included in appropriate intermediate projects as "test" dependencies as required to make tests work (slightly cleaner, more work), or
    - slf4j bridges included as test dependencies by default (less work, probably preferred)
  - logback-classic and appropriate bridges included in product bundle projects as "runtime" dependencies
- Benefits:
  - cleaner mvn dependency:analyze output (not completely clean, I was wrong about that)
  - opensaml and other libraries can be used in non-logback environments outside the Shibboleth projects
- This is not quite what I put in e-mail.
- I've tried this on some projects, seems to work out OK.
