Jira Service Management throws a "org.apache.logging.slf4j.SLF4JServiceProvider not found" warning during startup

      Issue Summary

      When starting up a Jira Service Management environment without any modifications, the following message can be seen in the startup logs:

      ...
      SLF4J(E): A service provider failed to instantiate:
      org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider: Provider org.apache.logging.slf4j.SLF4JServiceProvider not found
      ...
      

      Quoting the SLF4J warning or error messages and their meanings reference about this topic:

      This message is a warning and not an error. It is reported when no SLF4J providers could be found on the class path. SLF4J requires a logging provider because it is a logging API and not an logging implementation. Placing one (and only one) of the many available providers such as slf4j-nop.jar slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-reload4j.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar on the class path will solve the problem.

      In the absence of a provider, SLF4J will default to a no-operation (NOP) logger provider.

      While no impact can be observed, we should suppress this warning.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Start a Jira Service Management instance
      2. Check $JIRA_INSTALL/logs/catalina.out

      Expected Results

      No warnings are thrown.

      Actual Results

      A org.apache.logging.slf4j.SLF4JServiceProvider not found warning will appear on catalina.out

      Workaround

      No workaround available
