Removed the embedded Jackson sources. Instead, we now rely on the jackson-core-asl.jar file (version 1.9.13) as an external dependency. Various changes were made to the ant-scripts to include the new library on the class-path. The NetBeans and IntelliJ configurations were also changed to reference the new dependency. The Jackson license file was also added.

Apologies for not being able to contribute, but seeing this project being so lovingly crafted towards a more powerful and welcome place is very exciting! And I know of some government folks who are quite interested in the progress being made here. |

Hi @PJHogan. No problem. It is great to hear that there is some external interest. Any additional interest is always welcome as we need to get a lot more people involved here if we want this project to take off. |

@wcmatthysen Looks good. I tested this branch with the gov.nasa.worldwindx.examples.FlatWorldEarthquakes example application which uses a USGS GeoJSON feed for input. I did not detect any problems.

Description of the Change
Removed the embedded Jackson sources. Instead, an external
jackson-core-asl.jarfile was added that provides the Jackson parsing functionality.Why Should This Be In Core?
We should not embed external library sources in WorldWind. External libraries should be included as jar file dependencies. If we decide to switch over to a Maven or Gradle based way of building the project it will be easier to just include Jackson as an external dependency.
Benefits
Less pollution of the code-base with external sources. Easier migration to a newer version of Jackson in the future.
Potential Drawbacks
Users that relied on the embedded version of Jackson transitively (i.e. they received and used Jackson classes via WorldWind as a dependency) will now need to include the
jackson-core-asl.jarfile on their classpath or potentially encounter class-not-found errors.Applicable Issues
