I think this is correct -- jackson-jaxrs works with any JAX-RS
provider (I think it is used by resteasy), whereas jersey-json
provides more integrated version for use by Jersey and its
configuration system.
Reason for version discrepancy is due to what you observed;
jackson-jaxrs being pulled via different transitive dependency chain.
I have seen this occur with other projects and it can be a pain.
