Description

Hello--first time report please bear with me.
Upgrading project from 2.0-rc1 to 2.0, ran into the following issue:
Layout<? extends Serializable> xmlLayout = xmlLayout.createDefaultLayout();

produces the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/JsonProcessingException

I've included the API and Core JAR's to the project path, as previously. For reference, I'm comparing this line with the following line that runs correctly in rc1:
Layout<? extends Serializable> fileXMLLayout = XMLLayout.createLayout("true", "true", null, null, null, null);
