Maven dependencies needed for Jersey 2.x (2.6)

Question

I\'m trying to migrate from Jersey 1.x (1.2) to 2.x (2.6), I have trouble identifying the exact maven dependencies, jersey documentation is not comprehensive enough, it does

Answer 1

For a servlet environment, the only dependency you need is

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency>

This will pull in all you need. If you are in a servlet 2.5 environment, then you would use this instead

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
    <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</dependency>

Further information about 2.5 servlet, can be seen here

Alternatively, you could create a project from a Maven archetype, as seen here

UPDATE

Just as a note, the significance of using Jersey 2.6 is that it is the last version to support Java 6. If this is not a requirement for you, I would recommend using the latest version.
