You should also look in logback-classic not just logback-core.


> 2. Below is my code. It seems to work, but now the tests are echo'ing all log messages to stdout. Prior to this change the messages were going to SLF4j's NOP binding. I suspect this is because the Logback classic jar is on the classpath and is getting picked up. Long story short, I don't want log messages echo'd to stdout when running tests. Any ideas?

That's the default logback configuration kicking in. You can either 
create a LoggingContext per unit test, which is what logback's own unit 
tests do, or reset the default logger context, the one returned by 
LoggerFactory. Here is the code to reset the default logger context.

LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory();
lc.reset();
