java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
Add a SLF4J implementation (as you only have its API):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.7.26</version>
</dependency>
You have to provide one of the various SLF4J implementation .jar files in the classpath, as well as the interface .jar file. This is documented.
