B4J Question SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".

[Didier9]

I had previously asked about how to eliminate this annoying message. Erel at the time responded not to worry about it but I find this warning distracting (I get it each time I run the app in debug mode).
It didn't use to be there until a year or two ago.
Why is it shown and what can I do to get rid of it?

Several major libraries has as a dependency a library called SLF4J that is a logging library (no idea exactly what it does)

For me the library is HikariCP but it is a pretty common dependency.

Download this jar, put it in the additional libraries folder and reference it with #AdditionalJar:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/slf4j/slf4j-nop/1.7.32/slf4j-nop-1.7.32.jar

Thank you Erel!

@Didier9 just be aware that including the slfj library can affect logging of your own application. You can end up in a situation where your own log messages will no longer log or you will get additional verbose messaging from the library that is using slfj. This was what I encountered with one library.

Ok, thank you. That's a bummer... I just would like to eliminate the error message. It's annoying and distracting. I am open to suggestions.

 

[Erel]

I don't think that it will happen with the nop implementation. Try it.

Its worth trying out options, that was just my experience.
