I get following while running it.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/annotation/JsonMerge at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.introspect.JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.<clinit>(JacksonAnnotationIntrospector.java:50) at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.<clinit>(ObjectMapper.java:291) at com.sgmarghade.App.main(App.java:199) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonMerge at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:382) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:349) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357) ... 3 more

I build it on mac and java version is below:
java -version java version "1.8.0_201" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_201-b09) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.201-b09, mixed mode)

This is an old issue.. however i am pasting the solution as it is still relevant w.r.t to existing pom.xml that is the code. I have solved this by updating the jars annotation jar to >2.9 as method JsonMerge is introduced in 2.9
