Quite a few answers here recommend adding the slf4j-simple dependency to your maven pom file. You might want to check for the most current version.
At https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.slf4j/slf4j-simple
you'll find the latest version of the SLF4J Simple Binding. Pick the one that suites you best (still 1.7.26 from 2019-02 is the stable version as of 2019-07) and include it to your pom.xml.
For your convenience some dependencies are shown here - but they might not be up-to-date when you read this!
