Possible Cause

I found there is a duplicated folder org/slf4j in prettytime-nlp-5.0.7.Final.jar.

Consider adding org.slf4j:slf4j-api as a dependency of prettytime-nlp.

Workaround

Use version 4.0.6.Final instead.

I am seeing a similar problem with the same cause. Are there plans to patch this?

Hi friends. Thanks for the issue and apologies for the delay. It's possible that another workaround could be to remove the org.slf4j:slf4j-api from your dependencies configuration.

That said, I don't believe there are any functional differences in NLP between version 4.0.6.Final and version 5.0.7.Final, so your workaround should be fine.

However, workarounds still shouldn't be necessary. I'll need to look at what changed in the shade configuration between these versions, but in the mean time, I would be happy to review and accept a pull request for this issue!

I can't see yet release 5.0.9.Final, is this ongoing? Thx

@tesnick It appears in MVN central for me. Try clearing your mvn caches if not?

yes, I was not checking it properly. Thanks a lot!
