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

I can also confirm this error.

Workaround: is to use external maven inside m2eclipse, instead of it's embedded maven.

That is done in three steps:

1 Install maven on local machine (the test-machine was Ubuntu 10.10)

mvn --version

Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-4) Java version: 1.6.0_20 Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.35-32-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix"

2 Run maven externally link how to run maven from console

> cd path-to-pom.xml
> mvn test

3 inside m2eclipse: switch from embedded maven to local maven

• find out where local maven home installation dir is (mvn --version, or google for your MAVEN_HOME, for me this helped me that is /usr/share/maven2 )
• in eclipse Menu->Window->Preferences->Maven->Installation-> enter that string. Then you should have switched to your new external maven.
• then run your Project as e.g. "maven test".

The error-message should be gone.

There is a documentation in SLf4J site to resolve this. I followed that and added slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar to my aplication along with slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar which i already had.This solved my problem
