Just a warning to all Jersey users:
Please be aware that the approach described bellow is not officially supported and may lead you into troubles in the future, esp. wrt. multiple JSON providers getting registered in certain setups, which may potentially errors caused by conflicting, competing JSON entity providers.
As for Jackson version, it is true that Jersey now still supports 1.9, anyone in the community would like to submit a pull request with the Jackson lib version upgrade?
Here's the open task:
https://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-2107 (I have scheduled it for Jersey 2.6)

Now, listen, this is trial and error so maybe there is a reason for all of the complexity that the Jersey docs suggest for Jackson or all the blogs and stack overflow answers. But Just the two jackson pom entries and the fasterxml provider path is all I needed to use Jackson 2.3.0.
