Darrin,
Thank you for your reply. I thought that the android JVM ran a different byte code called dalvik. Correct. Dalvik VM has its own bytecode format. One reason is because it is register-based (rather than stack-based).
If I understand correctly, slf4j-android.jar would be converted to Dalvik byte code at a later stage... To be precise, the so called Dexer does this - it transforms standard Java bytecode into dalvik bytecode. When working with Eclipse, it is done by a builder that runs in the background before deploying application packages (apk) to the device. It is also available as a stand-alone tool.
