Question

I’m trying to use slf4j 1.7.0 (for vararg support), but maven errors out since it can’t find it in repo1.maven.org. From what I can see, 1.6.6 seems to be the most up-to-date version.

Is there another public and trusted repo I can use to get it?

Also, 1.7.0 was released in Sept, so it’s quite a few months. What is the general wait time for a release to make it to the repo1?

Answer 1

From what I see slf4j 1.7.x is available on central (eg: repo1.maven.org) under the group org.slf4j: http://search.maven.org/#browse%7C1114494198

If you still can’t obtain it, I suspect either:

• you had a bad maven artifact coordinate (old slf4j artifact is under ‘slf4j’ group rather than ‘org.slf4j’)
• your combined maven settings somehow mirror repo1.maven.org to a location that is not up to date (check with mvn:help effective-settings)
• or there’s a problem with your maven caching mechanism (eg: your internal company maven repo caching did not sync / update properly)
