Sorry there have been so many responses on here. It's a fairly common problem on windows that writing to stderr will block if there is no one consuming the output. That is clearly what is happening why the TC server is not starting (and thus not serving properties over http)
I wonder if the server is still stuck in the same place with this latest change to have the noop sl4j jar in use? I'm guessing we might see the server getting stuck at the next place any output is attempted.
I can see a potential problem with the way we start the TC server from the maven plugin, but I'd need to see your pom.xml to see if it would affect you.
