Jersey Maven quickstart archetype in Eclipse

Question

I am trying to create Jersey normally with the aid of maven but I am always getting this structure as in the scrennshoot and without error as normally?! It does not look as Jersey commonly layout.

I am using this one:

org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes
jersey-quickstart-webapp
2.16

pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>org.test</groupId>
  <artifactId>serverSide</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>serverSide</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

Solution 1

I highly doubt you are creating the archetype project correctly. What you are showing is a product of the org.apache.maven.archetypes : maven-archetype-quickstart

Here's a quick walk-through of how to create the Jersey archetype in Eclipse

1. Go to File → New → Other

2. In the dialog, select the Maven file the Maven Project, then Next

   

3. In the next dialog keep all the defaults, and hit Next

   

4. In this next dialog we will select the Maven archetype. In the search box, type jersey-quickstart-webapp. All the archetypes takes a few moments to load. You can see the progress at the bottom right of the IDE is they are still loading. This shouldn't take more than maybe 5 seconds. If you are not seeing any results come up from the search, then it's likely you don't have the archetypes installed. See this Stackoverflow answer for how you can get the archetypes.

   Once the archetypes load, and you see the jersey-quickstart-webapp in the results list, uncheck "Show the last version of Archetype only". So once you have unchecked that, you should see more version available. Scroll down to the org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes and select the version 2.16 (or whatever the latest version is, if you choose). Then hit Next

   

5. In the next dialog, enter the groupId, artifactId, and package, then hit Finish

   

6. You should now see a project with the following structure. There will be an error in the project because of you jsp page. We have no use for it here, so you can delete it if you want. This should get rid of the error.

One point I want to add, If you are getting following error while installing the archetype showed in image 1

Can't resolve Archetype org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes:jersey-quickstart-webapp:2.21 org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Could not resolve artifact org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes:jersey-quickstart-webapp:pom:2.21

Then before procedding with the solution specified in this stackoverflow answer, try to complete the following steps in eclipse:

Steps:

1. Go to Eclipse Help -> Install New Software...
2. Enter "http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases" inside Work with field and click on Add button.
3. Give any name. For example "remote archetypes" and click on OK button.
4. Then click on Select All button.
5. click Next button two times.
6. Accept the licence and install the updated maven.

You have an almost empty pom.xml with only junit added as test dependency. Can you please explain, what other things did you expect to see in eclipse?

[Mr Asker]

@npe: As I said I created it with the aid of the eclipse IDE- Maven - Maven project. Usually I can start without adding any other resource to it I have done it before?! In the screenshoot, this project instance has been created by maven! also this behaviour is strange?

[Mr Asker]

I have already did the same but what helped me is tte fourth point with the stackoverflow answer link :) Thanks.

[PabloQ]

Anyone knows how to achieve the equivalence of this with Gradle?

[Paul Samsotha]

@PabloQ this is pretty much all you need

@peeskillet I did the above steps mentioned by you, but I was unable to run this on the sever (tomcat 7). When I tried to add the resource, I get a message no resources found. Kindly suggest me what should be done to run this type of project on server.

To add to my previous comment - I had downloaded jersey-quickstart-grizzly2 v 2.22.2

jersey-quickstart-webapp was not appearing for me. So I followed Adding org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes in eclipse

After doing this and restarting ecllipse, the archetypes for jersey show in the list, however if I select jersey-quickstart-webapp archetype and provide my group Id, artifact ID and version, all I get is error "cant resolve archetype org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes:jersey-quickstart-webapp:2.3‌​0.1"
