slf4j 2.0 and later does not log to log4j #323

With the following dependencies in project when switching from slf4j 1 to 2 no logging is happening over log4j 2.19 (or earlier)
works fine with slf4j 1.x
As far as I know slf4j does not have log4j 2 adapter. log4j does (log4j-slf4j-impl used to be separate jar for slf4j 1.8 and later which did not work as well but starting with log4j 2.19 it is gone).

Am I missing something? Would greatly appreciate your input

Thanks
Alex

@roytmana Can you also provide the versions in the above artifacts?

The output of mvn dependency:tree command could also be useful.

There are 140 dependencies in your setup above. Anyway, it may be that jboss-logging might prevent proper initialization of slf4j 2.x. Are you running your application in Wildfly?
