Jackson dependency causes failures in AOT-compiled projects

[rplevy-draker]

The Jackson project deploys changes to existing versions, so you can't reliably depend on the "version" you are using. Today they made a change that causes ClassNotFound exceptions (Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/json/ReaderBasedJsonParser). I am presently looking through their versions in maven to see if overriding with any of these might work.

You can reproduce the problem by AOT compiling a project with Cheshire as a dependency and then attempting to run it.

EDIT: this is evidently not sufficient to reproduce the problem. I am looking more into why I am getting this error.

Hmm... that's not good. They should definitely not be doing that. I'll see what I can figure out to keep this from happening.

Damn, my fault. It was a dumb uberjar-exclusion. :( Sorry for bothering you with this! Haha,
