Description Richard Eckart de Castilho CLA 2021-07-20 02:39:23 EDT 
It is currently not possible to install Eclipse Groovy and Eclipse the "m2e slf4j-over-logback" at the same time, apparently due to a problem in the interaction between these bundles and the logback-classic bundle.

There are several related issues in different trackers:

- https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/issues/1275
- https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/issues/1237
- https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core/issues/269
- https://github.com/pmd/pmd-eclipse-plugin/issues/134

One person who analyzed the problem believes to have tracked it down at least partially to an import on "groovy.lang" in the "logback-classic" bundle that is missing a version range:

Comment 1 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2021-07-20 10:59:41 EDT 
Looking at the latest code it seems that Groovy has been disabled.

https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/blob/61ffd3aba042bbb22f588599ff5574d3b9667d22/logback-classic/src/main/java/ch/qos/logback/classic/util/ContextInitializer.java#L73

It might be worth to consider disabling Groovy in our Logback Classic bundle permanently.

I have created a groovless branch of logback version 1.2.4. It is available at 

 https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/tree/branch_1.2.x_groovyless

Please let me know if this solves the issue and hopefully without creating others.

If satisfactory, I can cut a release.

Thank you for the branch. Considering this is a cross-project issue, it may take a moment to figure out who can contribute what in order to test this.

Please find logback version 1.2.4-groovyless available in Maven Central [1].  This should make testing easier.
