I'm using Jackson sample code to deserialize a POJO:

ObjectMapper m = new ObjectMapper();

This line throws a NoSuchMethodError:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.codehaus.jackson.type.JavaType.<init>(Ljava/lang/Class;)V
    at org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.TypeBase.<init>(TypeBase.java:15)
    at org.codehaus.jackson.map.type.SimpleType.<init>(SimpleType.java:45)

    at org.codehaus.jackson.map.ObjectMapper.<clinit>(ObjectMapper.java:179)
    at com.me.util.ctrl.BillingJobStatus.fromJson(BillingJobStatus.java:37)

I don't get it

I'm guessing your Jackson JARs are out of sync. The JavaType class is in the jackson-core JAR, and the ObjectMapper class is in jackson-mapper.

Make sure these are both of the same version.
