Slf4j: Symbol not found

Question

I am trying to build a sample spring MVC using Apache Ant & the dependencies are being managed by Apache Ivy.

I got this message when a bamboo ant build was happening:

To be frank, I could not find a proper answer in stackoverflow, google, and github issues.

Not sure how much you Googled, but this was the first result I came up with: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25706216/what-does-a-cannot-find-symbol-compilation-error-mean — jdpjamesp, Aug 16 '18 at 06:34
