activemq-all forces me to use log4j slf4j implementation

activemq-classic, log4j, logback, maven, slf4j

Solution

In a nutshell, you have already listed group id/artifact id separated by a colon for the artifact you found. Please note that these satisfy some usecase with ActiveMQ 5.6. For instance activemq-core is not really valid any more - use activemq-client and activemq-broker instead.

Currently, these artifact are bundled in activemq-all. But you may want to check out the pom.xml for your version of choice (this list might change over time). You probably won't need all of them unless you are about to embedd a broker with all transports, plugins and configurations within your applications.

<artifactSet>
  <includes>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-client</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-openwire-legacy</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-camel</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-jaas</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-broker</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-console</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-shiro</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-spring</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-pool</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-jms-pool</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-amqp</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-http</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-mqtt</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-stomp</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-kahadb-store</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-leveldb-store</include>
    <include>${project.groupId}:activemq-jdbc-store</include>
    <include>org.apache.activemq.protobuf:activemq-protobuf</include>
    <include>org.fusesource.hawtbuf:hawtbuf</include>
    <include>org.jasypt:jasypt</include>
    <include>org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</include>
    <include>org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec</include>
    <include>org.apache.geronimo.specs:geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec</include>

    <include>org.slf4j:slf4j-api</include>
    <include>org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12</include>
    <include>log4j:log4j</include>
  </includes>
</artifactSet>

Ok, the version number for org.apache.activemq should simply be the release you want to use. For the geronimo specs, this is not so obvious.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
   <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId>
   <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
      <artifactId>geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec</artifactId>
      <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
      <artifactId>geronimo-annotation_1.0_spec</artifactId>
      <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
