package org.slf4j does not exist

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

Dear all,

  I am currently stuck on the following issue, I cannot get
debian/rules in shape to pass CLASSPATH info. Here is the current
status of my debian/rules file:

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/bio-formats/trunk/debian/rules?view=markup

  However during compilation it keeps on failing with:

compile:
    [javac] Compiling 44 source files to
/home/mathieu/debian/debian-med/trunk/packages/bio-formats/trunk/bio-formats-4.3.1/components/common/build/classes
    [javac] /home/mathieu/debian/debian-med/trunk/packages/bio-formats/trunk/bio-formats-4.3.1/components/common/build/src/loci/common/CBZip2InputStream.java:52:
package org.slf4j does not exist
    [javac] import org.slf4j.Logger;
    [javac]                 ^
    [javac] /home/mathieu/debian/debian-med/trunk/packages/bio-formats/trunk/bio-formats-4.3.1/components/common/build/src/loci/common/CBZip2InputStream.java:53:
package org.slf4j does not exist
    [javac] import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
    [javac]                 ^
...

  The strangest thing is that the following does provide org.slf4j.Logger:

$ CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/slf4j-api.jar javac
bio-formats/trunk/bio-formats-4.3.1/components/common/build/src/loci/common/CBZip2InputStream.java

  This is not an installation issue. Is there some kind of conflicts
with CLASSPATH I should be aware of ?

Thanks much !
