Description

New versions of slf4j-api do not throw an exception if no binding is provided to a logging configuration, instead outputting a warning and defaulting to No Op logging. This would allow the Java client to be used of the box without forcing users to download a binding by themselves before being able to start using the client (eg to run the examples).
