Setup ctakes project with JSON output - json

Question

I am trying to setup a ctakes application which gives a JSON output.
I have taken the ctakes module from https://codeload.github.com/apache/ctakes/zip/ctakes-4.0.0
I am trying to convert jcas object to json as below
CAS cas = jcas.getCas();
JsonCasSerializer jcs = new JsonCasSerializer();
jcs.setPrettyPrint(true);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
jcs.serialize(cas, sw);
System.out.println(sw.toString());
But it seems in the downloaded project setup, there is no dependency for JsonCasSerializer. I have googled and found that we need to add uimaj-json jar in my project. I have added the same as external dependency (uimaj-json-3.1.1)- I have tried different versions as well. But I am getting multiple issues after adding the same jar into the project.
My understanding is that while adding the uimaj-json jar, my POM already contains the below dependency and the newly included uimaj-json jar has a lot of dependencies which is not in compatible with my current application uimj-core version.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
<artifactId>uimaj-core</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.uima</groupId>
<artifactId>uimafit-core</artifactId>
<version>2.1.0</version>
</dependency>
Kindly help.
Do we have any sample ctakes project which contains jcas to json conversion?

Issue resolved!
It was a version mismatch between uimaj-core and uimaj-json. I was mixing the versions of uimaj-core and uimaj-json. You should use both of same version. I have used 2.8.1 for both.
