ClassNotFoundException is thrown when deploying an application that uses Jackson annotations to JBoss EAP 6.0

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Our application uses Jackson core ASL annotations and in development mode we added the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
    <version>1.9.2-redhat-1</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

When we deploy this application to JBoss EAP 6.x, however, we have a ClassNotFoundError as below:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.jackson.JsonGenerationException from [Module "deployment.your-deployment.jar:main" from Service Module Loader]
    at org.jboss.modules.ModuleClassLoader.findClass(ModuleClassLoader.java:190)
    at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClassUnchecked(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:468)
    at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClassChecked(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:456)
    at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.performLoadClass(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:398)
    at org.jboss.modules.ConcurrentClassLoader.loadClass(ConcurrentClassLoader.java:120)

How can we solve this?
