Netbeans 8.0.2 project with Jersey and Jackson

Question

I have a Netbeans project in 8.0.2. For various reasons, I am not using Maven.

I have some REST resource methods that return Map and some that return a complex POJO. These are to be converted to JSON.

From reading around, I gather that the Moxy default plugin cannot stream these to JSON and I would be better off using Jackson.

My question is: What are the various Jackson jars that I require ? Where do I get those from ? Remember, I am not using Maven, so I can't just add a dependency in pom.xml to jersey-media-json-jackson and be done with it.

Answer 1

You can manually download the various Jackson release JARs from Maven Central via GitHub ; see the projects' respective Downloads page. Since you're not using dependency management you'll need to manually ensure that all of Jackson's dependencies are satisfied (have fun!).

You'll need at least

• jackson-core – downloads page
• jackson-jaxrs-providers – downloads page
