Since SLF4J 2 isn't supported until SB 3.0, could this be reverted or excluded? Prior version 1.1.12 didn't have this issue.

You can safely downgrade to SLF4J 1.7.x. Spring boot's dependency management should already do this for you.

We do use the spring boot dependencies bom and I assure you the jetty reactive add on still pulls in slf4j 2. The issue is simple : we use maven dependencies analyzer plugin and it fails the build because of this dep.

the truth is from what I see scanning commit logs there is nothing new in this version just dependency upgrades. So you could safely revert

I can't reproduce that behaviour with Spring Boot 2.7.5. SL4FJ 1.7.36 is used:

Unfortunately, that's not a viable long-term option. 1.1.13 may only upgrade dependencies but inevitably there will be a 1.1.x release that fixes a bug so we want to keep up-to-date.

If you can provide a sample project that uses Spring Boot's dependency management and ends up with SLF4J 2.0 we can take another look.
