Hi
This is probably a silly question. But so far I have always used ES's http endpoint to do my searching. Now that I am trying to use the java api, I dropped in the elasticsearch-0.12.0.jar into my classpath and expected my tests to run which is just creating a TransportClient at the moment.
However, slf4j starts giving errors using Guice injection. Start of the error stack trace bloew is

After dropping in the slf4j-log4j jar, which I downloaded separately, this starts working. I don't see any dependency of this in the ES maven poms or even in the ES distribution download itself.
Any idea what could be the issue here?
As a side note, do I need logging.yml and elasticsearch.yml in my classpath for the ES client to work properly.
Thanks
