</assembly>

the jar generated using maven predefined assembly descriptors "jar-with-dependencies" is to be used in Storm, must excludes slf4j-log4j12 package, Storm also include it. but have a "indexer" class in it is used independently, it need slf4j-log4j12 package to log, when running "maven install", got:

[WARNING] The following patterns were never triggered in this artifact inclusion filter: o 'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12'

how to fix this problem in the "index.xml" assembly file?

Answer 1

i think the only way is define different dependency strategy by different maven profile. Proposed reference hadoop maven config.
