Provide Jackson module

[matthewadams]

We use Interval in our app, and Jackson chokes on it.

Can you provide (perhaps in another repo) a Jackson Module for the types defined in this library?

Same here, but not just for Interval (obviously?).
On a related note, can anyone share custom ser/deser code they have for handing the ThreeTen types?

This is an open goal for someone who wants to write their own open source project. For the record, it's not something I'm planning on working on.

@jodastephen I'm curious why, with the ubiquity of Jackson, you'd not even consider adding support for usage with Jackson to this otherwise awesome library? Having been involved in open source for close to 20 years, I totally understand a "looking for help" position; but not so much the "not planning on it" position.
Maybe I just misunderstand your response...

By the way, to help others getting started, I discovered this little example of using a Jackson mix-in to implement (der)serialization of Interval. It's easily adapted to other ThreeTen types (I did it quickly for LocalDateRange).

My view is that integrations with other projects should be outside this repo. I'm happy to provide a link if such a repo appears. But obviously if its outside this repo, there isn't much more to do on this ticket!
