I am wondering how to get org.slf4j.Logger for System.out. I know this is not good, but I need it for testing purposes.
Thank you so much.

Consider slf4j-simple, but it logs to stderr instead of stdout. It's the bare-minimum implementation. Source code browsable here: http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.slf4j/slf4j-simple/1.6.1/org/slf4j/impl/SimpleLogger.java?av=f
It is possible to use slf4j-simple and make it write to the standard output by setting a system property when the program starts:
System.setProperty("org.slf4j.simpleLogger.logFile", "System.out");
More information at http://www.slf4j.org/api/org/slf4j/impl/SimpleLogger.html
SLF4J is a logging facade. You need a logging implementation.
Nowadays, Logback is the recommanded logging framework.
To log to System.out, you have to use the ConsoleAppender in Logback configuration file.
Example :
<appender name="stdout" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<target>System.out</target>
<encoder>
<pattern>%-40.40c [%5.5thread] %-5p %X - %m%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
Put simplelogger.properties in your classpath and put this line in it:
org.slf4j.simpleLogger.logFile=System.out
This will cause SLF4J Simple Logger to log to Standard Output instead of Standard Error.
