Using an IDE like Eclipse, you can write a NOP implementation faster than 
you can blink an eyelid.
Just create any class implementing the org.slf4j.Logger interface and let 
Eclipse generate the methods for you. You can also chose to extend 
org.slf4j.impl.MarkerIgnoringBase (org.slf4j.helpers.MarkerIgnoringBase in 
SLF4J 1.3) if you wish the generated class to be smaller.

Does this help?
