Eclipse distributions have something like this in their product: ```xml <plugins> <!-- either m2e.logback or slf4j.simple should be provided in each package --> <plugin id="slf4j.simple"/> </plugins> ``` The idea is that you need a logger, or otherwise some information can't be logged. You may have gotten warnings about no logger being available, in some instances as well. I don't remember exactly where, but I've seen them as well. I think it would be good to add a logging implementation. We already have one `slf4j.simple` in our target platform, but the product doesn't have it. We'd then get the following diff in plugins contain in the product: ```diff -./plugins/slf4j.nop_2.0.16.jar +./plugins/slf4j.simple_2.0.16.jar ```
