SLF4J Failed to load

Reopening to evaluate this again

Unfortunately it seems that adding slf4j-simple was a hasted decision.
As per https://www.slf4j.org/manual.html

Note that SLF4J-enabling your library/application implies the addition of only a single mandatory dependency, namely slf4j-api-2.0.9.jar.

What given library also did.

Warning that @CyberCrest experienced was due to missing dependency on their side (library consumer) and should have been fixed by linking with/declaring dependency on desired provider.
After 37bb328 all other users that have provider other than slf4j-simple have now to explicitly exclude it otherwise application will fail to start due to class path containing multiple SLF4J bindings

[BASIC RULE] Embedded components such as libraries or frameworks should not declare a dependency on any SLF4J binding/provider but only depend on slf4j-api. When a library declares a transitive dependency on a specific binding, that binding is imposed on the end-user negating the purpose of SLF4J. Note that declaring a non-transitive dependency on a binding, for example for testing, does not affect the end-user.

Note also that slf4j-simple binding/provider outputs all events to System.err. Only messages of level INFO and higher are printed.

Thanks for taking interest in this project, and appreciate bringing the SLF4J issue to our notice.
Will evaluate a fix for this, and include it in one of our next releases.
