java - 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>

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.
