        Snapshots are not published to the main maven repositories; it
        doesn't
        make sense for snapshots to be mirrored world-wide. So if you
        want a
        snapshot, you explicitly need to tell maven the location of an
        appropriate snapshot repository to use.
        
        You can find information about defining snapshot repositories
        here:
        http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-plugin-snapshot-repositories.html
        
        However I don't know which actual repository slf4j snapshots get
        published to (if any). For obvious reasons, it isn't in the
        ASF's
        snapshot repo that the above doc talks about.
        
        For the moment, I suggest the best solution would indeed be to
        install
        it into your local repository with
          mvn install:install-file
