[13:19:32 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> EricDalquist: The SL4J suggests one approach to managing the logging dependencies is to indicate the other logging frameworks are provided (#2 in http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#excludingJCL). Having gone through the annoying and time-consuming process of doing the exclusions per the best practices suggestions (https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/Logging+Best+Practices) I was wondering if the 'provided' approach would be bette
[13:19:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh nice
[13:20:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that is much easier
[13:20:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> alt2 that is
[13:20:34 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> feel free to update that jasig wiki page with the provided trick
[13:20:46 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Yes. I'm not sure I fully understand the comment about eclipse still including it on the classpath (an eclipse thing?).
[13:20:53 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Sounds good. Thanks.
[13:20:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:21:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so eclipse includes "provided" dependencies in the classpath
[13:21:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so it could be a little weird running unit tests in eclipse
[13:21:54 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Is there a way to force the sl4j jars earlier in the classpath?
[13:22:04 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> not sure
[13:22:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I don't know exactly how the m2e plugin orders the classpath
[13:23:21 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> I'll glance at that ... I don't run eclipse though so I'll have someone who does sanity check it. I'll do one portlet first for now.
[13:25:18 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok
[13:28:33 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> BTW sanity check ... The portlet CSS best practices (CSS loading at https://wiki.jasig.org/display/PLT/CSS+Best+Practices) lists loading a CSS using
[13:28:33 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/MyPortletWebapp/css/my_portlet.css" type="text/css" / >
[13:28:33 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Seems to me it would be better for the href to be
[13:28:33 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> href="$ /css/my_portlet.css"
[13:28:33 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Thoughts?
[13:28:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> correct
[13:29:01 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the first will be annoying if you deploy to a different webapp name
[13:29:15 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> jwennmacher there's also a JSTL tag for that...
[13:29:20 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> <c:url>
[13:30:09 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Good point. Thanks. I'll update the page.
[13:30:20 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> yeah thanks for updating those pages
