Description
Feature Description
Jackson has released major new 3.x version [1], this is major breaking change [2] comparing to 2.x release line, including both package and artifact changes.

Use Case
Swagger tightly integrates with Jackson in core (not to mention other components) and it may not be possible to support both versions (2.x and 3.x) at the same time.
Suggested Solution (optional)
Thinking about possible options, having new Swagger 3.x release line would be probably the best way to move forward.
Alternatives Considered
Support both versions (2.x and 3.x) at the same time. It may not be possible, or otherwise maintainable.
