How do I include RestEasy Jackson2Provider in jar-with-dependencies?

Question

I have a java rest service client that I am packaging up using the maven-assembly-plugin. I am creating a zip file containing all of the dependencies plus a jar-with-dependencies. So I end up with:

my-client-1.2-bin.zip
my-client-1.2-jar-with-dependencies.jar

I have written a small test java app that calls the client so that I can test the dependencies. If I unzip the dependency zip and add all of the jars to the class path, I am able to use the client successfully. If I attempt to only add the jar-with-dependency to my class path, it fails unless I also add the RestEasy Jackson2Provider jar to my classpath. I have confirmed that the ResetEasy Jackson2Provider is available in the jar-with-dependency jar file.

Here is the relevent part of my pom:

I ran into a similar problem when using the shade plugin. This is because the transformers in the Metadata folder is overwritten by the shade/assembly plugins. I could resolve it by using the following

<build>
<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>package</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>shade</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <transformers>
                        <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
                            <mainClass>path.to.your.main.Class</mainClass>
                        </transformer>
                        <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
                            <resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
                        </transformer>
                        <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
                            <resource>META-INF/spring.schemas</resource>
                        </transformer>
                        <transformer
                                implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer" />
                    </transformers>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
