SLF4J throws error due to missing .jar on classpath

[Linus12]

Subject of the issue

slf4j gives the following warnings:
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.

Your environment

• version of Flickr4Java 3.0.1
• version of JDK 1.8
• version of slf4j 1.7.9

Steps to reproduce

Replaced Flickr4Java 2.17 with Flickr 3.0.1; replaced scribe 1.3.5 with scribejava-core 6.3.0 and added slf4j 1.7.9; replaced

Expected behavior

OK, obviously I just need to add one of the appropriate slf4j.jar files to the class path... But would like to see documentation as to the best one to use for solving issues; at least at first, even if the recommendation is to use the -nop jar.
Current options given on slf4j website are: slf4j-nop.jar slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-log4j12.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar

[Linus12]

The issue seems to be that I used slf4j-api-1.7.9.jar rather than one of the others. That's my bad. But the Readme just says "slf4j (runtime dependency for logging)" is required... A little help in deciding which of the 5 slf4j to use would be helpful to some of us using this for the first time.

This is now fixed and released as 3.0.2.
Be aware that it may take several hours to appear in Maven Central.
