I tried other solutions and the exception didn't go away. So I decompiled the entire jose4j 0.6.5 jar with a Java Decomplier and look at its pom.xml.

I realised it has a specific dependency on slf4j-api, version 1.7.21:

So in my project's pom.xml, I added the exact same dependency, updated my Maven project so that it downloads this jar into my repository and the exception was gone.

However it may bring up another error caused by slf4j itself:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

To overcome this issue, I added the following into my project's pom.xml. So altogether you need to add the following to your pom.xml and my jose4j ran without anymore issues:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.21</version>
</dependency>   

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
   <version>1.6.4</version>
</dependency>

Remember to update your Maven project after amending your pom.xml.

(Right-click Project folder in Eclipse -> Maven -> Update Project..)

get the compatible version of this jar slf4j-jdk14 and add it as a dependency  this solved the problem for me

User · Answer

make sure your MANIFEST MF contains the name of the referenced jar in my application was slf4j-api-   jar

User · Answer

You need slf4j-api library  For most cases only slf4j-api and slf4j-jkd14 are only required   Here you can download the version 1 7 2   slf4j-api-1 7 2 jar slf4j-jkd14-1 7 2jar   If you need an example to see how these are used  refers to this tutorial   http   www ibm com developerworks java library j-hangman-app index html  All the code for the tutorial is available

To be more specific if you are missing the class com vaadin external org slf4j LoggerFactory add the below dependency    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt com vaadin external slf4j lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt vaadin-slf4j-jdk14 lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 6 1 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    If you are missing any other org slf4j LoggerFactory  just go to Maven central class name search and search for the exact class name to determine what exact dependency you are missing

User · Answer

I believe the answer is outlined on the slf4j web-site  Failed to load class org slf4j impl StaticLoggerBinder   For a very quick solution I suggest adding no-operation  NOP  logger implementation  slf4j-nop jar   For example  if using maven    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt slf4j-nop lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt   slf4j-nop-version  lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

User · Answer

You have to provide one of the various SLF4J implementation  jar files in the classpath  as well as the interface  jar file  This is documented

User · Answer

The perfect solution which works undoubtedly is to just add these packages to your app  https   mvnrepository com artifact org slf4j slf4j-api 1 7 2  http   archive apache org dist logging log4j 1 2 16    after adding so you may encounter following WARNING which you can simply ignore   SLF4J  No SLF4J providers were found  SLF4J  Defaulting to no-operation  NOP  logger implementation SLF4J  See http   www slf4j org codes html noProviders for further details   credits  https   www javacodegeeks com 2018 02 fix-exception-thread-main-java-lang-noclassdeffounderror-org-slf4j-loggerfactory-java html

The LoggerFactory class is msising according to the error message      java lang NoClassDefFoundError  org slf4j LoggerFactory   Apparently  the slf4j jar file is not getting loaded for some reason

User · Answer

This error occurs because of referenced jars are not checked in our project s order and export tab   Choose Project - ALT Enter- Java Build Path - Order and Export- check necessary jar files into  your project   Finally clean your project and run It will run successfully

User · Answer

You need slf4j-api library and slf4j-log4j12-1 7 25 jar  Copy this jars in your project-  WEBINF-  lib folder and in tomcat server lib folder to execute successfully

this worked for me  properties maven uncheck resolve dependencies from Workspace projects

User · Answer

When we use the slf4j api jar  we need any of the logger implementations like log4j  On my system  we have the complete set and it works fine   1  slf4j-api-1 5 6 jar 2  slf4j-log4j12-1 5 6 jar 3    log4j-1 2 15 jar

User · Answer

use maven it will download all the required jar files for you   in this case you need the below jar files   slf4j-log4j12-1 6 1 jar slf4j-api-1 6 1 jar  These jars will also depend on the cassandra version which you are running   There are dependencies with cassandra version   jar version and jdk version you use   You can use   jdk1 6 with   cassandra 1 1 12 and the above jars

I also had the similar problem  I had a maven project and was testing rabbitmq  Firstly it showed me the similar error then I added all the SLF4J dependencies in the maven project and then error changed to  Maven SLF4J  Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings   Here is the complete list of dependencies from pom xlm    lt dependencies gt       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt com rabbitmq lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt amqp-client lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 4 0 0 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org apache commons lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt commons-lang3 lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 3 0 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt       lt dependency gt          lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt          lt artifactId gt slf4j-simple lt  artifactId gt          lt version gt 1 7 21 lt  version gt          lt scope gt compile lt  scope gt       lt  dependency gt   lt  dependencies gt     It worked finally

If you are facing java lang NoClassDefFoundError  org slf4j LoggerFactory Add slf4j-log4j12 jar in the library folder of the project

I was facing a similar issue and below line fixed the issue for me        lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt slf4j-api lt  artifactId gt       lt  dependency gt    Edit  I realized that I was using spring boot and the version of the dependency was getting pulled from spring-boot-starter-parent

When you copy dependency from maven repository there is    lt scope gt test lt  scope gt    Try to remove it from dependencies in pom xml like this    lt  -- https   mvnrepository com artifact ch qos logback logback-classic -- gt   lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt ch qos logback lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt logback-classic lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 2 3 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    This works for me  I hope it would be helpful for someone else

You can use bellow dependency   lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt log4j lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt log4j lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 2 17 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt slf4j-api lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 7 7 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt       lt dependency gt           lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt slf4j-log4j12 lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 7 7 lt  version gt       lt  dependency gt

Add a SLF4J implementation  as you only have its API     lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt org slf4j lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt slf4j-log4j12 lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 7 26 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt

First  check the dependency hierarchy than to exclude all slf4j jars from other dependencies and add separate slf4j as dependencies
