Add support for @ConstructorProperties

ConstructorProperties provide a standard way to communicate constructor properties. Currently, you have to use JsonCreator with JsonProperty to achieve the same behavior with jackson.

Libraries like lombok generate constructors using the standard annotation, which makes it necessary to manually annotate the constructor when using jackson. There are already libraries that add support for this annotation but I believe it could be added to the main project without problems.

I believe ConstructorProperties is absent on android so it might be necessary to handle that gracefully.

For anyone else who stumbles upon this - as a result of this change, on upgrading to Jackson 2.7, trying to deserialize a class which is

• annotated with Lombok’s @AllArgsConstructor annotation, and
• has a constructor annotated with @JsonCreator

I started having errors along the following lines:

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.JsonMappingException: Conflicting property-based creators: already had explicitly marked [constructor for com.package.class, annotations: {interface java.beans.ConstructorProperties=@java.beans.ConstructorProperties(value=[all, my, instance, variables)}], encountered [constructor for com.package.class, annotations: {interface com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator=@com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator(mode=DEFAULT)}]

This is because under the covers Lombok’s constructors use the ConstructorProperties annotation by default. The problem can be fixed by setting the following value. lombok.anyConstructor.suppressConstructorProperties = true.

Hope that’s useful…

Any MapperFeature to disable using of ConstructorProperties ? AUTO_DETECT_CREATORS seems not working. @cowtowncoder
