[jira] [Commented] (FELIX-5499) Remove usage of json.org from dependency manager

["Pierre De Rop (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5499?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15828242#comment-15828242 ] 

Pierre De Rop commented on FELIX-5499:
--------------------------------------

Thanks Carsten for reporting.
I will read carefully the link you mentioned. In the meantime, I have a question:

DM annotation and runtime are currently using this json library:

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.twentyeleven.skysail</groupId>
    <artifactId>org.json-osgi</artifactId>
    <version>20080701</version>
</dependency>

so, I'd like to check whether I have to completely remove usage of json at all (and use xml instead), or if it is possible to
replace the de.twentyeleven.skysail by another alternate json parser ? if I'm correct, there is a jackson json library from [1] which seems to have an Apache 2.0 license. So may I simply just use the jackson json library instead of the de.twentyeleven.skysail json lib ?

thanks for clarifying.
