I'm using the latest versions of Jersey and Guice but I'm see runtime errors when trying to return a collection or map. I thought Jackson could do that automatically?

Here's the exact error:

A message body writer for Java class java.util.ArrayList, and Java type java.util.Collection<java.lang.String>, and MIME media type application/json was not found.
The registered message body writers compatible with the MIME media type are:

To start, here is my guice module


My rest resource is very simple:



My Gradle build config file looks like this (I assume gradle is not relevant here but the deps defined may be?)


I'm actually running this through gradle, so my command looks something like gradle jettyRun and I should also note that I'm using java 1.8. I was assuming those things wouldn't matter here, but I'm sort of at a loss for explanations since I thought these frameworks would support json collections out of the box. Is that not the case?
