Even i exclude the slf4j-api in hibernate-core, and hibernate-entitymanager, I take the error:

java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint violation: when resolving method "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getLoggerFactory()Lorg/slf4j/ILoggerFactory;

I check the maven repositories and I found that the slf4-api-1.5.8.jar don't be exclude, I view in the dependecy hierarchy and this don't have dependency hierarchy.
I can't exclude slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar !!!, why?.

What's the output of:

mvn dependency:tree

on that project?
