Maven2 bootstrap pom.xml for SLF4J and no-commons-logging

Each time I start a new Java project with Maven 2, I need to write the same dependencies again and again: SLF4J and no commons-logging because it's evil (and SpringFramework seems to want to keep it), Joda Time by default, some properties, etc.

So, that's the template pom.xml I use for the bootstrap, if it may help anybody here (it uses logback for logging, as it's more efficient than Log4j with SLF4J, but feel free to use what you want):
