[FIXED] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/JsonFactory

Issue

I am working on YouTube broadcast sample examples. I have created a sample Java Project & added required jars. But, when I try to run the project it throws exception.

Exception :

Throwable: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/JsonFactory
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/core/JsonFactory

    ... 3 more

I downloaded the project from this GitHub repository.

Solution

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
</dependency>
