[slf4j-dev] [JIRA] (SLF4J-405) Android app with transitive (unrestricted?) dependencies from slf4j does not compile under Android Studio

[QOS.CH (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-405?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18673#comment-18673 ] 

Ceki Gülcü commented on SLF4J-405:
----------------------------------

Two possible workarounds:

# You can restrict the slf4j version yourself by just declaring a dependency to slf4j-api explicitly, that is directly in your build files.
# Exclude module-info.java classes from the compilation cycle. It is likely that the compilation is failing due to module-info.java files which are specific to Java 9.

> I have a huge Android (Gradle) project which had been compiling just fine till 07.04.2017 (yesterday) under Android Studio 2.3.
> Now I have 
>     *Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'.*
> *> Could not expand ZIP 'C:\Users\1\.gradle\caches\modules-2\files-2.1\org.slf4j\slf4j-api\1.8.0-alpha0\3745fbc3ca51456387cf068d66442513898a42f1\slf4j-api-1.8.0-alpha0.jar'.*
> I am not using slf4j-api directly, but I suppose that some of .aar libs included in my project (or Andoid Studio !?) do that and probably on the "unrestricted" basis, i.e. as:
>      *compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.+'*
> So, there was no problem before 07.04.2017, but yesterday your have updated your https://www.slf4j.org/dist/ with [slf4j-1.8.0-alpha0|https://www.slf4j.org/dist/slf4j-1.8.0-alpha0.zip] and I have got problems.
> Would you be so kind to remove this version from your repo, because I am using Java 8 in my project and therefore I can't restrict himself with using of slf4j-1.7.x by means of gradle command. More over I have no idea which of .aar libraries in my project uses slf4j by inappropriate way.
