I'm having an issue with vso.xml generation in a plugin I'm developing against the new 5.5.1 SDK.
In my pom file I've included the following, which to my understanding lets me link against dependencies in the vCO platform.
<groupId>com.vmware.o11n</groupId>
<artifactId>o11n-provided-deps</artifactId>
With this configuration I get a build failure because the scope for provided deps is provided and Jackson isn't loaded on the class path when the maven plugin runs.

I can solve this two ways:
1) Explicitly define Jackson as a dependency which then includes the jars in my dar file.
2) Create a decorator for my static helper class which contains the VSO annotations, and calls through to the other class behind it.
With #2 since the plugin doesn't need to parse and validate the import of ObjectMapper the build does not fail.
What is the correct way to solve this problem?
