> Checkstyle has dependencies on old SLF4J versions: slf4j-jdk14-1.5.6 and jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.6. Maven 3.3.3 provide SLF4J 1.7.5 in its libs. By default maven use simple provider for slf4j and it is backward compatible to API 1.5.6. But when I change the provier to logback API compatibility breaks:

> Please refer to http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#compatibility - while API is backward compatible, bindings are not. So checkstyle has to keep its SLF4J versions in sync with maven's SLF4J providers.
> For now problem can be fixed by overriding plugin's dependencies:

> <plugin>
>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>   <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
>   <version>2.16</version>
>   <dependencies>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
>       <artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
>       <version>1.7.5</version>
>     </dependency>
>     <dependency>
>       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
>       <artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
>       <version>1.7.5</version>
>     </dependency>
>   </dependencies>
> </plugin>
> {noformat}
> BTW, for some reason the issue does not appear on maven 3.2.3.
