NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/Versioned using Jackson JSON parser

Question

I have a Spring MVC REST project and I am being given the following message when I try to build the application:

NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/Versioned

I believe this is to do with the implementation of Jackson's JSON parser in the application but I am using:

 jackson-annotations-2.4.0.jar 
 jackson-core-2.4.1.jar
 jackson-databind-2.4.1.jar

Answer 1

This class is part of the jackson-core-asl.jar include it in the classpath.
