[FIXED] maven compilation - error log4j

Issue

i'm building java application and suddenly i found problem with compilation:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project sonda: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:
[ERROR] ..../service/UserService.java:[7,23] package org.apache.log4j does not exist

But i was building this application before and everything was ok. Additionally, when i run this application under Eclipse using tomcat, it's running well.

In pom i have:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
        <version>${org.slf4j-version}</version>

            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

Can you help me ?

Solution

Change the scope of the log4j dependency to compile or remove it.
