ProGuard

While there are no standardized settings for ProGuard usage, users have contributed sample settings that may be of use. We are happy to accept more suggestions.

Here are sample settings by @johnjohndoe:

# Jackson
-keep @com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties class * { *; }
-keep @com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator class * { *; }
-keep @com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonValue class * { *; }
-keep class com.fasterxml.** { *; }
-keep class org.codehaus.** { *; }
-keepnames class com.fasterxml.jackson.** { *; }
-keepclassmembers public final enum com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAutoDetect$Visibility { 
    public static final com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonAutoDetect$Visibility *;
}

# General
-keepattributes SourceFile,LineNumberTable,*Annotation*,EnclosingMethod,Signature,Exceptions,InnerClasses

and another from @CCorrado:

# Proguard configuration for Jackson 2.x
-keep class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper {
    public <methods>;
    protected <methods>;
}
-keep class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectWriter {
    public ** writeValueAsString(**);
}
-keepnames class com.fasterxml.jackson.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.**

To avoid wrong name based infered linkage between getter/setter method and field, it is recommended to disable MapperFeature.INFER_PROPERTY_MUTATORS.
