Slf4j

During the maven build I get this error message

[INFO]
 --- flow-maven-plugin:1.0.5:copy-production-files (default) ---
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.

I have already added slf4j-simple to my pom. At the moment no logging messages appear at the server since the logger implementation is defaulted to the NOP logger.

How can I enable logging on the server?

Can you share your pom.xml file?

It worked okay for me. It might be that your nexus repository has one of the dependencies modified in such a way that it includes some of the log4j bridges. Have you tried compiling without it? Also, you don’t need to specify the version of the slf4j-simple dependency since you have the Vaadin BOM.
