SLF4J NoSuchMethodError on LocationAwareLogger

Question

This is a question that has been asked before, but unfortunately no solution seems to work for me. I am facing this exception (with abridged stack trace):

Answer 1

Solved !!!

I was having dependency on another project which was using JavaDoc plugin. JavaDoc plugin internally uses Maven-core and Maven-core-2.2.1 uses jcl-over-slf4j: 1.5.6. Maven-core is a parent level jar.

Now, due to this JCL jar, i was facing this issue. Hence I removed it from the lib folder of weblogic(or whatever server you might be using).

And ALAS !! The problem was resolved.

Note 1:- You can also use Maven's tag to remove this dependency from the JavaDoc(or any other plugin) to resolve this issue.

Note 2:- Use the Dependency Hierarchy tab in POM to see if any such old SLF4J jars are present. And remove rest and keep only one version.

Hope it helps ..
