Thanks for the reply, Jo. The java library is developed by my team. Our java library doesn’t know about the main program (various clients applications). And the original goal for using SLF4J is logging for our java library, not for the main program(clients applications). I want to keep one version of our java library, in other words, having just one JAR file, (not multiple versions of JARs with different bindings). Is that possible? And between the binding used in our java library and the logging framework used by a client's application, if they are different, will it cause any error/problem? Thanks.

Since the backend is a per-application decision, that decision should be made by the main program, not by any library (SLF4J was built specifically to allow libraries to do logging without committing to a specific backend). If you want to see log output from your test code, then your test code should bind to a backend, yes. That's why you typically add logging backends to the "test" scope in Maven: These are used just during testing and not made part of the generated jar files.
