Forward ported the mapper from 2.0 release (as deprecated)

[aborg0]

From https://github.com/netplex/json-smart-v2/tree/f5260dc716e14a89d9a9549722558b74fa70fc25
deprecated the classes. (Hopefully that was the released version of
this project.)

can you help me to fill the json-smart-backport package ?

It seems from the maven central only the json-path project uses it. (The other https://github.com/btrplace/scheduler/tree/master/json/src seems to be using only the json parser.)
I have no idea how to get information about usage besides Maven central. (We plan to use it within KNIME (which is not on maven central), but because of these problems we will most probably use our snapshot of 2.0 with the 1.1.0 of json-path unless both projects release a new version fixing all OSGi related problems or we have a workaround for them.)
The currently unreleased version of json-path using the released 2.1 version of json-smart (so it seems to made the change and not using the deleted package anymore), which is currently not usable using OSGi because of the missed exported package (the writer). Json-path's currently released version (1.1.0) is supposed to be usable with the released 2.1 version of json-smart (assuming semantic versioning), but it is not because of the deleted package.
Thanks for the support.

May I ask what is the problem with just deprecating the old packages? I think the commit aborg0@366df66 contains all classes that were removed, but previously were exported.
