Answer 2

You are trying to exclude the logback-classic from the slf dependency itself. The issue is that as mentioned here, you were using more than one binding in your class path. Actual way is to keep exclusion for logback-classic, in the dependency which uses it and not in your slf4j dependency. Unfortunately, I am not sure which of your jars, are having a reference to slf4j which is causing the issue. One workaround is, use Ctrl+Sft+T to see the existence of the StaticLoggerBinder class, in different jars, and place the logback-classic exclusion in that. Other work around is, you can try keeping exclusion, as trial and error. These are just work arounds, but the concept is same. We need to find other dependency which has reference to logback-classic in your classpath
