logback.xml overrides client project's logger settings

Is it possible to remove logback.xml from the project? The file from the jar overrides client's logging settings and can even lead to warnings (multiple logback.xml files) if clients also use logback, which is not desirable. With gradle it seems to be hard to exclude this file.

Start by locating logback.xml in the project and checking the Gradle packaging configuration that includes it in the JAR. Done means the connector no longer packages this file, so client logging settings are not overridden and duplicate-logback warnings are avoided.
