SLF4J with logback still prompt failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder"

Question

I have a maven project which use slf4j with logback as the logger. I could see that both artifact are in my maven dependencies tree item. But whenever I tried to run my project, I keep prompted:

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.

I check the link, and it was said:

Placing one (and only one) of slf4j-nop.jar, slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-log4j12.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar on the class path should solve the problem.

I have add the logback-classic to my project (I'm using 1.0.9), but I keep prompted that message and my log doesn't running.

Could anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks.

How I use it in my program:

public class SolutionBusiness {
    protected final transient Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

// some other codes

public void doMove(Move move) {
        if (solver.isSolving()) {
            logger.error("Not doing user move ({}) because the solver is solving.", move);
            return;
        }
        if (!move.isMoveDoable(guiScoreDirector)) {
            logger.warn("Not doing user move ({}) because it is not doable.", move);
            return;
        }
        logger.info("Doing user move ({}).", move);
        move.doMove(guiScoreDirector);
    }
}

Had the same error. I went to Maven Repository, and looked for the latest non-beta versions. Simply changing the versions worked. A working pom:

    <slf4j.version>1.7.26</slf4j.version>
    <logback.version>1.2.3</logback.version>
</properties>
