If you develop a plugin, e.g. extends hudson.tasks.Builder, include the following in pom.xml for JAX-RS Client:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.ws.rs-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
        <version>2.25.1</version>
    </dependency>

A sample JAX-RS Client:

import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder;
import org.glassfish.jersey.client.ClientConfig;

public class RestClient {

    private static String BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8090/rest";
    private static String ACCESS_TOKEN = "8900***bc1";

    public static String query(String path) {

        ClientConfig config = new ClientConfig();
        Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(config);
        WebTarget target = client.target(getBaseURI());

        // token authentication
        String result = target.path(path).request().header("Authorization", "Token " + ACCESS_TOKEN)
            .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).get(String.class);
        return result;
    }

    private static URI getBaseURI() {
        return UriBuilder.fromUri(BASE_URL).build();
    }
}

where http://localhost:8090/rest is the base rest url outside of Jenkins environment. Anywhere in your plugin code, you can simple call this as needed:

String rsData = RestClient.query("/project_type");

assume the full rest web service url is

http://localhost:8090/rest/project_type

You may also use Apache HttpClient, or OkHttp

It would be great to know you just need to call your client as part of some complex flow, implemented as a Jenkins job, or you want to concentrate on webservice testing.

WillieT has pointed you to several simple recipes which can be used to solve some basic tasks. If you need more power, better reporting, some additional features please consider the following:

Apache JMeter (details)

JMeter can be integrated into Jenkins using Performance plugin. Report example:

Grinder (details)

I prefer to use this tool, but it might be to complex/heavy for you.
