title: Maven - Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder"
body: <p>I have recently installed Maven on my windows based laptop. But getting following error when running <code>mvn</code> just to test my installation:</p>
  
  <pre><code>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.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whoever when running <code>mvn -version</code> I am getting appropriate response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Apache Maven 3.2.5 (12a6b3acb947671f09b81f49094c53f426d8cea1; 2014-12-14T22:29:23+05:00)
  Maven home: C:\apps\Maven
  Java version: 1.7.0_25, vendor: Oracle Corporation
  Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\jre
  Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
  OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note that I am getting exactly same error when running <code>mvn install</code>, <code>mvn package</code>, <code>mvn clean</code> or any other Maven target in my maven project, while project doesn't have any dependency for <code>SLF4J</code>.</p>
