Answer 1

If using Spring, and spring-web is on the classpath, you can create an ObjectMapper using the Jackson2ObjectMapperBuilder. It registers the following commonly used modules within the method registerWellKnownModulesIfAvailable.

com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jdk8.Jdk8Module
com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.jsr310.JavaTimeModule
com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.joda.JodaModule
com.fasterxml.jackson.module.kotlin.KotlinModule

Some of these modules have been merged into Jackson 3; see here.
