Failed to found StaticLoggerBinder in project - java

I have project with some modules. In parent I have defined:
org.apache.logging.log4j
log4j-slf4j-impl
${version.log4j}
runtime
but when I want to deploy application then StaticLoggerBinder is not found:
No org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder found in ClassPath, trying with log4j...
but when I add depenedcy just into this project
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>${version.log4j}</version>
</dependency>
then 2 StaticLoggerBinder is founded:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/home/hudect/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.7.5/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.5.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
SLF4J: Actual binding is of type [org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory]
as you can see second one is from my parent project. I am really confused why this happens. Can someone me explain me how should I fix it ?

Do you also have the log4j-core and log4j-api dependencies?

However, I see that org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:2.0.6 is not added (at least from IntelliJ log I understand so).

SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#noProviders for further details.
documentation https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html says that adding one of slf4j-nop.jar slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-reload4j.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar on the class path should solve the problem.
Any ideas why Java or IDEA cannot find slf4j ?
use the below dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.6.6</version>
</dependency>
and keep the log4j.properties file in src/main/resources.
a sample file for printing the log in the console.:
log4j.rootLogger=debug,console
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %L - %m%n

Is it possible to exclude transitive runtime scope dependency from dependencies in POM?

I have a spring boot project which is having runtime transitive dependency on slf4j and log4j. Because of this I am seeing slf4j multiple binding warning and then an IllegalArgumentExceptionIllegalArgumentException. You can find below entire exception message :
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/Users/pulkit/.m2/repository/com/xyz/platform/event/PlatformLibrary/1.0.1/PlatformLibrary-1.0.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]

I read other answers related to same issue and tried excluding the slf4j binding from the platform library which is a private repo but I it doesn't seems to be working. Below is the exclusion block which I added in pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.xyz.platform.event</groupId>
<artifactId>PlatformLibrary</artifactId>
<version>1.0.1</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
But this doesn't seems to be working however I am able to exclude the dependency from spring-boot-starter-web which works fine though probably due to older version it doesn't take use the property logging.pattern.console anymore.
Can somebody please suggest what can be done in this case?
I could see following in dependency tree
but for private library/package I couldn't see any dependency inside it, may be because it's dependency scope is runtime.
Note: I have changed the path of repo since it is a private repo.

There is the SLF4J version conflict and the stack trace explains this more than clearly. The 4th line says:
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
One of the offered solution is to exclude SLF4J from Lombok:
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
However, I see one of the dependencies is explicitly /org/slf4j/slf4j-simple/1.7.7, so I'd remove this one.

Both Spring boot and the Openshift library use slf4j, which is a logging bridge framework. However, they both include a different bindings:
Spring boot includes Logbback
Openshift includes log4j
You can fix this by excluding either one of them, for example:
<!-- language: lang-xml -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.openshift</groupId>
<artifactId>openshift-restclient-java</artifactId>
<version>6.1.3.Final</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

Java log: failed to load slf4j but I'm using log4j2. How to fix?

When I run my jar file, I get the following error:
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.
The problem is that I'm not using slf4j, I'm using log4j2. It is used by a dependency. Maven correctly includes org.slf4j:slf4j-api as a transitive dependency of a library that I'm using.
How do I get rid of this warning? I do not even want to log problems with this dependency.
I've solved it with this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
This will add the log4j2 as the implementation of slf4j api. I can even display log events of the dependency if I want.
