java - Dependency management for SLF4J and Logback -

i'd start using slf4j logback. read on logback's online documentation , ready add jars repo , try out.

but i'm @ loss! jars need? downloaded latest slf4j (1.7.5) , expected see something slf4j-logback.jar, don't see of sorts. i've read logback contains "native implementation" of slf4j, don't know means, or if implies don't need slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar on classpath.

so ask: use latest logback (1.0.13), jars need? took @ maven central repo for logback 1.0.13 , don't see dependencies listed, didn't me @ all. in advance!

you need add logback-classic pom

    <dependency>         <groupid>ch.qos.logback</groupid>         <artifactid>logback-classic</artifactid>         <version>1.0.13</version>     </dependency> 

it transitively add

<dependency>     <groupid>ch.qos.logback</groupid>     <artifactid>logback-core</artifactid>     <version>1.0.13</version> </dependency> 

and

<dependency>     <groupid>org.slf4j</groupid>     <artifactid>slf4j-api</artifactid>     <version>1.7.5</version> </dependency>
