Purpose

Upgrade the Jackson artifacts to the latest stable 2.x release, 2.22.3.

2.22.3 was released on 2026-09-21 and is the current latest on the 2.x line. Keeping the Jackson artifacts on the newest 2.x patch keeps them aligned across the IS components.

Approach

Version property bumps only — no code or logic changes.

parent/pom.xml:

• version.jackson: 2.22.2 → 2.22.3
• version.jackson.databind: 2.22.2 → 2.22.3
• version.jackson.dataformat: 2.22.2 → 2.22.3
• version.jackson.datatype: 2.22.2 → 2.22.3

version.jackson.annotations stays at 2.22 — jackson-annotations follows a two-segment version scheme, and 2.22 is its latest 2.x release.

🟡 Changes recommended

Although this specific version-property bump is clean and verified, dependency upgrades carry transitive/runtime compatibility risk that warrants human confirmation before approval.

Review effort: Balanced
Findings: None

What changed in this PR

This PR upgrades the Jackson artifacts to the latest stable 2.x release (2.22.3) by bumping the shared version properties in the parent POM. Jackson dependency versions are centralized as version.* properties in parent/pom.xml and consumed by the <dependencyManagement> entries for jackson-core, jackson-databind, jackson-datatype-jdk8, and jackson-dataformat-yaml, so this property-only change propagates consistently across the build.

Changes:

• Bumped version.jackson, version.jackson.databind, version.jackson.dataformat, and version.jackson.datatype from 2.22.2 to 2.22.3.
• Left version.jackson.annotations at 2.22, matching jackson-annotations' two-segment versioning.
• No code or logic changes.

File	Description
parent/​pom.xml	Updated four Jackson version properties from 2.22.2 to 2.22.3; annotations left at 2.22.

I verified that 2.22.3 is a real release (published 2026-09-21), that no stray 2.22.2 references remain anywhere in the repo, and that each property is correctly wired to its corresponding managed dependency. The change is internally consistent with no issues found.
