Io direi innanzitutto che c'è un bel "pasticcio" sulle dipendenze. Hai la API di SLF4J (slf4j-api), perfetto. Hai il modulo di aggancio di SLF4J verso Log4j (slf4j-log4j12), perfetto. Hai il Log4j (log4j), perfetto.
Ma .... hai il modulo log4j-over-slf4j che "replica" Log4j per "buttare" i log su SLF4J. Eh no! Non ti sembra un giro contorto?
