Research direction

Start at the JWTParser(ObjectMapper objectmapper) constructor mentioned in the issue and inspect how JWTParser creates and uses its mapper. Confirm the appropriate visibility and verify that callers can provide a Jackson mapper configured with the Kotlin module; the custom mapper should be used when parsing JWT data.

Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

I would like to use my custom ObjectMapper with the JWTParser.
I'm using kotlin and the default ObjectMapper is not equipped with the jackson kotlin module.
I see there is a constructor JWTParser(ObjecMapper objectmapper) but unfortunately its package private, so I have no possibility to use it.

Describe the ideal solution

Make the JWTParser(ObjecMapper objectmapper) constructor protected/public

Alternatives and current workarounds

As a current workaround I'm working with @JsonProperty annotations on my POJOs to make it work with the default ObjectMapper.
