Wrong dependency on Log4j in MyBatis 3.2

[emacarron]

MyBatis 3.2 does not startup without log4j in the classpath.

Is there a workaround? This makes 3.2.0 unusable for me.

[paulkrause88]

Not a general workaround, but in my case I was able to get it working by adding the following dependencies to my pom.xml.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>log4j-over-slf4j</artifactId>
            <version>1.7.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>cglib</groupId>
            <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
            <version>2.2.2</version>
        </dependency>
