Use Case

Swagger tightly integrates with Jackson in core (not to mention other components) and it may not be possible to support both versions (2.x and 3.x) at the same time.

Suggested Solution (optional)

Thinking about possible options, having new Swagger 3.x release line would be probably the best way to move forward.

Alternatives Considered

Support both versions (2.x and 3.x) at the same time. It may not be possible, or otherwise maintainable.
