To Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/BLCK-B/sqliteSLF4Jissue

I just run Main using green arrow in IntelliJ IDEA. bootRun does not trigger this issue.

You can toggle sqlite version in build.gradle.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• VM: GraalVM 24.02 - Java 22.02
• sqlite-jdbc version 3.47.1.0

While slf4j should be optional, have you tried adding the slf4j-api to your project or a suitable substitute for your logging framework of choice (if used)?

Doesn't Spring Boot uses SLF4J by default ?

[neoxpert]

Yes it does. As the bootRun task is working (just ran it on my setup), I would say it's an issue within the project setup / IDE but not sqlite-jdbc itself. In the current state, also Eclipse does not properly setup the module path when running Main directly.

[gotson]

seems indeed like an IDE issue, thus i am closing this.
