We are using jersey-json 1.9 which has a dependency on jersey-core which also happen to have a javax.ws.rs.core.Application class.

So our fix is to exclude the jersey-core from jersey-json:

    
        com.sun.jersey
        jersey-json
        1.9
        
            
                com.sun.jersey
                jersey-core
