I setup a basic Java program, I am following this tutorial and have this exact code:
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HelloWorld.class);
logger.info("Hello World");
}
}
I have the jars slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5 jar on my build path. I do not understand what gives, the getLogger method exists in the LoggerFactory class which I can F3 (source code look-up) to. I Googled about this and appear to be the only dope with this problem. Any ideas?
Here is my .classpath for Eclipse:
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdit..../>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="/home/Desktop/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar" sourcepath="/home/Desktop/slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="lib" path="log4j-1.2.17.jar"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>
On the tutorial page you link to, there is the following note:
slf4j-log4j12-1.7.6.jar
Binding for log4j version 1.2, a widely used logging framework. You also need to place log4j.jar on your class path.
Did you include log4j.jar?
