Upgrade to Jackson 3 for compatibility with Spring 7/Spring Boot 4

[Holly-Marie]

Spring Boot 4 based on Spring 7 has been released and it is based on Jackson 3,
abd since the current version of com.unboundid.product.scim2 is based on Jackson 2,
the current version of this lib is NOT compatible with Spring Boot 4, Spring 7.

Describe the solution you'd like
Upgrade to <jackson.version>3.0.3</jackson.version>
realign the moved packages and adjust code where needed:

  <dependency>
      <groupId>tools.jackson.core</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
    <version>${jackson.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
    <version>${jackson-annotations.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
     <groupId>tools.jackson.core</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
    <version>${jackson.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
     <groupId>tools.jackson.jakarta.rs</groupId>
     <artifactId>jackson-jakarta-rs-base</artifactId>
    <version>${jackson.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
      <groupId>tools.jackson.jakarta.rs</groupId>
      <artifactId>jackson-jakarta-rs-json-provider</artifactId>
    <version>${jackson.version}</version>
  </dependency>

Describe alternatives you've considered
Short of maintining two Jackson versions in a Spring Boot 4 project (very undesirable) I would need to replace the lib with my own adjusted fork.

Hi @Holly-Marie, this is something we've been taking a look at since Jackson 3.0.0 released. Unfortunately, Jackson made many fundamental changes to its API in a way that does not allow libraries like ours to update to 3.x without breaking compatibility for everyone who still needs 2.x.

We are evaluating options for supporting 3.x, and will provide an update whenever we have more information.

is there already an update to this / any plans for the near future? just asking because we preparing the spring boot upgrade now and would wait for it if there is something to come in the near future.

Any updates guys, our ETA? or atleast a ticket to track the progress :)

We've started some initial work on this migration so far, but I unfortunately don't have firm updates or timelines to share yet. When I have more information, I'll share them here on this GitHub issue. Thanks for your patience on this!
