"ClassNotFoundException" when trying to use Jackson in a CDI + JAX-RS application deployed into EAP 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

I have one application that uses the JSON Jackson library and when we try to deploy it we have ClassNotFound exception. The dependency is, however, available in development. The stack trace is similar to the following:
