Affects: spring-jcl 5.3.29


For the Spring version 5.3.29 the commit c7bc40d has been added. There seems to be an issue with this, breaking one of our projects, when we try to update from 5.3.28: We are using the jaxb2-maven-plugin in version 2.5.0 with the additional dependency jaxb-xew-plugin in version 1.11. If we try to compile after updating we get the following error message:

Receiver class org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactoryService does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method 'abstract void release()' of abstract class org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.

Within xew they are using org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory#release. From my understanding the issue is caused, because in the original implementation as of commons-logging 1.2 the release() method is abstract, while in spring-jcl it is not.
