Working on following version.

  1. Jdk-1.7.0
  2. apache-tomcat-7.0.34
  3. Eclipse Juno
  4. apache-maven-3.2.1

Also I have tried using deleted the maven repository folder and updated the project so fresh local repository created.

Please let me know the solution. Thanks in advance.

Until version 2.6, Jersey was compiled with Java SE 6. This has changes in Jersey 2.7. Now almost all Jersey components are compiled with Java SE 7 target. It means, that you will need at least Java SE 7 to be able to compile and run your application that is using latest Jersey. Only core-common and core-client modules are still compiled with Java class version runnable with Java SE 6.

Below is the link for the same https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/modules-and-dependencies.html

So I have updgraded to the following Archetype which is supported by Jdk 1.7

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=jersey-quickstart-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=2.9
