[Technical Question] sendReportedProperties where property value has custom Jackson annotations

[jokarl]

In our project we rely heavily on Jackson annotations and custom deserializers. When I want to report one of our objects using sendReportedProperties, things get a bit iffy:

deviceClient.sendReportedProperties(Set.of(new Property("config", OurJacksonAnnotatedClass.builder().withPosition(Position.from(0,0)).build())));

This updates the twin but serializes a lot of internals of the class that we don't want. I could serialize the object myself using Jackson, but that will instead generate an escape JSON string as the value, when I actually want an object.

Is there any way to override GSON in favor of Jackson, or any other way to handle this scenario?

Currently our SDK only supports Gson based json objects, and there is no configuration that we enable. We'll take this as a feature request though.
