title: NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/Versioned using Jackson JSON parser
body: <p>I have a Spring MVC REST project and I am being given the following message when I try to build the application:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/jackson/Versioned</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I believe this is to do with the implementation of Jackson's JSON parser in the application but I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code> jackson-annotations-2.4.0.jar 
   jackson-core-2.4.1.jar
   jackson-databind-2.4.1.jar
  </code></pre>
