'Spring Boot - NoClassDefFoundError: ch/qos/logback/classic/Level
I created a vanilla Spring Boot App (1.5.9.RELEASE) but when I Run As -> Spring Boot App (in Eclipse Oxygen) I get
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

Solution 1:[1]
It looks like you're trying to use a logback logging implementation but don't have a logback jar in the classpath:
Please try adding something like this (depending on Spring Boot version there can be another actual version of logback dependency)
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
<version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>
Then you'll probably want to configure loggers, appenders and so forth. For more information about logging in spring boot read a chapter from official Spring Boot documentation.
Solution 2:[2]
Apparently I had a broken jar in the classpath, after removing everything from .m2 and updating it worked.
Solution 3:[3]
This worked for me, though not very intelligent: Deleted the ch folder from within .m2 folder, and did a Run > 'Maven install' from Eclipse.
Solution 4:[4]
Spring boot application is expecting logback classic dependency.Since its unable to find the logback-classic jar in classpath its throwing an error Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ch/qos/logback/classic/turbo/TurboFilter.
After adding the below dependency application started without any issues.
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
<version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>
Solution 5:[5]
Removing everything from maven repo and updating project in eclipse worked for me.
Solution 6:[6]
Deleting ch folder in .m2 directory and update maven project in eclipse project helps me in fixing this issue.
Solution 7:[7]
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
<!-- <version>${logback.version}</version> -->
</dependency>
Adding this logback explicitly, solved the issue in my case.
Solution 8:[8]
For us java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ch.qos.logback.classic.joran.JoranConfigurator meant "I had excluded spring-boot-starter-logging but needed to add spring-boot-starter-log4j2" or something like that, apparently.
working pom:
<build>
<dependencies>
<dependency><groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId><artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j2</artifactId></dependency>
<dependency>
...something internal
<exclusions>
<exclusion><groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId><artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId></exclusion>
</exclusions>
According to https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.x/reference/html/howto-logging.html if you want to use log4j instead of logback you're supposed to "exclude" spring-boot-starter-logging so I guess the pattern of having to reject it from every dependency apps isn't too far off. Kind of weird though...
So maybe what happened was if you "just exclude" Maybe they were still bringing in "just logback" (without joran) as a separate dependency, which confused spring boot?
