Problem Description

It seems that unless I add

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.helidon.http.media</groupId>
            <artifactId>helidon-http-media-jsonp</artifactId>
        </dependency>

To my pom file, I cannot compile a native image using the autoconfigured plugins from the below parent.

    <parent>
        <groupId>io.helidon.applications</groupId>
        <artifactId>helidon-se</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0</version>
        <relativePath/>
    </parent>

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to the helidon-se branch of this repo
2. go to the helidon-se directory
3. remove the jsonp dependency
4. run docker build -f Dockerfile.native -t hello .

[romain-grecourt]

helidon-security-providers-jwt depends on helidon-security-jwt which depends on parsson.

helidon-http-media-jsonp includes native-image configuration:

Args=--initialize-at-build-time=org.eclipse.parsson --initialize-at-build-time=jakarta.json

This is a bug as the native-image configuration for parsson / json-p should be included regardless of helidon-http-media-jsonp.

As a workaround you can include the options listed above in your own native-image.properties.
