Compilation error package com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation does not exist

Question

Following class is showing issue - The import com.fasterxml.jackson cannot be resolved -

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonIgnoreProperties;


@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)
public class MerchantDetailsDto {

Compilation error on running clean install -

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 

[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------

[ERROR] /Path/to/src/main/java/com/citruspay/common/dto/merchant/MerchantDetailsDto.java:[9,40] package com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation does not exist

  symbol: class JsonIgnoreProperties

The pom definition is this, which is in the pom of a project which is defined as dependency of the current project -

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
            <version>${jackson-core.version}</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>${jackson-core.version}</version>
        </dependency>

And

<jackson-core.version>2.6.1</jackson-core.version>

I checked the maven repository for this component, and it seems it does not have any dependency.

I tried changing the version to latest - 2.10.0.pr1 and tried doing maven update of the dependency project but could not find the jar downloaded inside .m2. There are two paths where the directory structure corresponding to this component is there -

.m2/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-annotations

.m2/repository/com/fasterxml/jackson/core/jackson-annotations

I am not sure which of these is the actual one, so I tried deleting the existing version directory from both of these, but even the same version jar did not get downloaded when I tried maven update and clean install.

Would appreciate any pointers.

Update

Output of clean install command on dependency project -

Solution

use

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
        <version>2.11.0</version>
    </dependency>

This will bring in the two transitive dependencies:
