I updated my pom.xml to upgrade to spring boot 2.7.3. I updated the spring-boot-dependencies dependency to this version. This dependency imports the logback-classic jar with version 1.2.11:
<logback.version>1.2.11</logback.version>
It also imports the slf4j jars (slf4j-api and log4j-over-slf4j) with version 1.7.36:
<slf4j.version>1.7.36</slf4j.version>
I have the following error when I try to launch tests but I do not understand why it does not find the MDC class in slf4j:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.slf4j.MDC

I found that this issue is due in general to incompatible jars but here it is the versions in spring-boot-dependencies that are imported and I find the org.slf4j.MDC class in the slf4j-api-1.7.36 jar so I do not understand.
For information, I also find the org.slf4j.MDC class in webservices-extra-xmlsec-4.0.1 jar that is also imported in the pom with webservices-rt. Maybe it is the problem?
Can you help me please?
