Answer

This issue seems to be related to a version mismatch. This method was removed some time ago.

There is a closed issue for this on swagger plug-in https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/issues/3554

Migrating this difference in versions, I think spring is now shipped with newer Jackson libraries in which this method is removed.

Try upgrading you swagger plug-in version.
