Issue
I am not able to run my Spring Boot application with embedded Tomcat. It was working fine till now and I did not make any changes in configuration. When i run the application as Spring Boot App in eclipse the tomcat stops immediately during startup.
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

I tried restarting machine, eclipse, refreshing project, recreate the .m2 repositories but it did not help me solve the problem.
Below is my configuration information:
Main Class
@SpringBootApplication
@PropertySource(value="classpath:messages.properties")
public class ExampleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(ExampleApplication.class, args);
}
}

Solution
The error you get seems related to SLF4J
Try adding the below dependencies in your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.7.5</version>
</dependency>
