I got this error when trying to run as Maven Build. Could someone please help me resolve the binding conflicts, thanks.

This is not a bug in eclipse. We just have to uninstall the slf4j from "Maven integration for eclipse" which is an additional software already installed on the eclipse. You can see this in eclipse market place.

Do the below steps:

1. In eclipse, Go to help -> click on Market place -> click on installed. Here you will see the Maven integration for eclipse which is already installed.
2. Now click on change button. There you will see slf4j over logback is checked. Uncheck it and click on confirm button. This will uninstall the slf4j from "Maven integration for eclipse" software.

Now you can check that the slf4j binding error is gone when you do the maven build. Enjoy!
