[wildfly-dev] Jackson 1 and 2 coexistence

[Bill Burke]

Jackson 2 has a different package name from Jackson 1, so they are 
completely incompatible.  My suggestion?

* Ship with both jackson 1 and jackson 2 modules
* Ship with both Restasy jackson 1 and 2 providers
* Make Jackson2 the default Resteasy provider

For resteasy-based apps, the negative is that anybody relying on 
jackson1 apis directly will have to either upgrade (which I think is as 
easy as changing package names) or manually set up the apropriate 
jboss-module includes/excludes.

Thoughts?  Let me know if you have any objections to this approach as I 
want to document this within Resteasy and push the appropriate changes 
to Wildfly.
