@Dichotomia Can you expand on what you mean by "support" please? We can easily add dependency management for the new module. Are you looking for more than that?

[Dichotomia]

The dependency management is a good first step. It avoids me to add a "jackson.version" maven property.

Secondly, how does spring boot register the jackson modules? I think it would be a good idea to register this module automatically.

Generally speaking, that's done by Spring Framework's Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder. Spring Boot will also automatically register any Module beans with the auto-configured ObjectMapper that's built using the aforementioned builder.

We'll use this issue to add dependency management for com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs:jackson-datatype-jaxrs
