You also need to include the Log4J JAR file in the classpath.

Note that slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4.jar is only an adapter to make it possible to use Log4J via the SLF4J API. It does not contain the actual implementation of Log4J.

well i just needed log4j-1.2.16.jar – Mahmoud Saleh May 14 '12 at 15:07
adding log4j-1.2.16.jar also solved the problem in my case but slf4j-log4j12-1.6.4.jar didn't – lizzie 2 days ago

You need to download log4j and add in your classpath.
