java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: ch.qos.logback.classic.util.ContextInitializer.<init>(Lch/qos/logback/classic/LoggerContext;)V

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a simple Orika example project.
2. Import 3rd party dependencies including logback and sl4j jars.
3. Run the program as Java Application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get the expected output as value is correctly mapped in destination bean.
But, I also get following exception:
Failed to instantiate [ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext]
Reported exception:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using logback-classic-0.9 jar, on windows 7, 32-bit.

Please provide any additional information below.
When I changed to logback-classic-1.0.13, I got following exception:

Note that in this case, my sysout message didn't appear.

This seems to be a conflict of slf4j versions in your classpath ?
