Affected Plugins:
Updating Jackson from 2.6.5 to 2.13.3 causes issues with om class serialization. If Swagger sees an om class as a @ResponseBody or a @RequestBody, it will try to document that class. Because of the recursive object structure in om classes, Swagger can't figure out how to document the class and will eventually time out which will cause the Spring context initialization to fail. This timeout failure may take a long time to resolve (10-20 minutes or more), and you will find exceptions like the following in spring.log and/or application.log.

In addition to the above changes, the following dependency changes were required in the Container Service plugin to fix multiple unit test failures. You may see issues in your custom plugins if you are using either of these dependencies.
