I have a problem with my dependency tree and multiple SLF4J binding. What I found out so far is that usually this only causes a warning but in my case it seems to prevent my program from running:
These are the exceptions I get:
SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/C:/Users/FischerNi/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-jdk14/1.5.3/slf4j-jdk14-1.5.3.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: Found binding in [jar:file:/C:/Users/FischerNi/.m2/repository/org/slf4j/slf4j-log4j12/1.6.1/slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#multiple_bindings for an explanation.
SLF4J: slf4j-api 1.6.x (or later) is incompatible with this binding.
SLF4J: Your binding is version 1.5.5 or earlier.
SLF4J: Upgrade your binding to version 1.6.x. or 2.0.x
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.getSingleton()Lorg/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder;
and this is the relevant piece of my dependencies:
net.lightbody.bmp
browsermob-proxy
2.0-beta-8

Can somebody please tell me how to resolve this issue?
