What are the dependencies that you have declared? Specifically - what is in the classpath before merlin is kicking in?
Basically this looks like a case of conflicting jar files in your initial classloader. Merlin is attempting to load the logging system but it looks like a different version of the logging classes already exist in a higher classloader.
