Esta é uma pergunta que já foi feita antes, mas infelizmente nenhuma solução parece funcionar para mim. Estou enfrentando essa exceção (com rastreamento de pilha resumido):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V
    at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLocationAwareLog.debug(SLF4JLocationAwareLog.java:133)
    at org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ThreadSafeClientConnManager$1.getConnection(ThreadSafeClientConnManager.java:221)
    at org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.execute(DefaultRequestDirector.java:401)
    at org.apache.http.impl.client.AbstractHttpClient.execute(AbstractHttpClient.java:820)

Isso acontece ao compilar usando uma linha de comando Maven e também ao implantar no Tomcat. Funciona bem dentro do IntelliJ IDEA.

Normalmente, eu esperaria que isso fosse causado pelo uso de várias versões da biblioteca SLF4J. Mas a árvore de dependência do Maven mostra todas as bibliotecas slf4j em uma única versão:

..$ mvn dependency:tree | grep slf4j
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] |  \- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.6.4:compile
[INFO] +- org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:jar:1.6.4:compile

Até garanti que não havia outro JAR em ~ / .m2 / repository

Também não há referências a bibliotecas de registro em comum (eu as excluí como confirmadas pela árvore de dependência.

Como posso resolver este problema? Estou ficando sem ideias.

EDIT: conforme solicitado aqui, todas as dependências, primeiro o POM pai:

Dada minhas experiências recentes, não parece ser um problema relacionado aos arquivos do projeto. Tentei 'hg dividir' o problema, mas voltando semanas, não consegui encontrar uma versão que funcionasse. Alguns deles estão sendo executados em sistemas de produção, portanto, não é provável que haja uma alteração no código que cause esse problem
