I downloaded a binary distribution of Apache James, the Spring wired distribution.
I run it but I get the below error:
C:\prod\james-server-spring-app-3.7.2\bin>run
SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation

Instead there is the "log4j2.xml" file.
In "\lib" folder there are the below libs:
Please could someone help me to start James in mode that I can follow the activities?
Thank you in advance. Ivano
SOLVED
The important message is the below:
SLF4J: Class path contains SLF4J bindings targeting slf4j-api versions 1.7.x or earlier.
So I replaced the libs distribued from Apache James community with the below libs:
The above combination of libs makes slf4j happy to works with log4j log provider.
