Slf4j version 2 dependency is coming from jetty 10. At platform we are consuming jetty. This is where the slf4j.api version 2 is coming from. Since Jetty stopped building p2 repositories we built jetty p2 repositories with bare minimum components that are required for platform.
We tried to use update Jetty around 2021-03 M3. But we thought this upgrade will be disruptive so we postponed to 2021-06 M1.
We added the feature announcement in N&N https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.20/platform_isv.php#jetty-10-update
We also sent a note because of jetty upgrade there are conflicts in simrel to crossproject-dev list. There was a considerable discussion on this topic.
I am just listing what happened with update Jetty 10. Now we cannot go back to older version of slf4j that means downgrading Jetty. Now what should be the way forward?

Thanks for raising this issue folks.
About Orbit or not, I fail at seeing what would that change: if slf4j 2.0 -which is a requirement- were in Orbit, how would that have prevented this issue in m2e from happening?
