The library of my project is in the "/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/", and this is my file "build.xml":

<property name="src" value="\${basedir}/src" />  
<property name="build" value="classes" />  
<property name="dist" value="dist" />  
<property name="package" value="*" />  

<target name="init">  
<echo> Criando os diretorio classes, doc e dist.</echo>  
<mkdir dir="..\${build}" />  
<mkdir dir="..\${dist}" />  
</target> 

<target name="compile" depends="init" >  
<echo> Compilando o projeto.</echo>  
<javac srcdir="\${src}" destdir="..\${build}" includeantruntime="false">
    <classpath>
    <fileset dir="\${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/">
       <include name="jersey-server-1.4.jar" />
    </fileset>
  </classpath> 
</javac>
</target>  

<target name="dist" depends="compile">  
<echo> Gerando o .jar do projeto.</echo>      
<jar jarfile="..\${dist}/InfosoundWebApp.jar" basedir="..\${build}">  
    <!-- Tornando o jar executável-->  
    <manifest>  
        <attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.informatec.restfull.ServerRestfull"/>             
    </manifest>  
</jar>  
</target>  

<target name="all" depends="dist">  
<echo> Executa o projeto.</echo>  
<java jar="..\${dist}/InfosoundWebApp.jar" fork="true" />
</target>  

<target name="clear">  
    <delete dir="..\${build}" />  
    <delete dir="..\${dist}" />      
</target>

If someone can help me, I will be grateful.

It looks like you are trying to run the JavaEE app from JavaSE. The class javax/ws/rs/core/Response is only available under JavaEE (on your webserver). Your build.xml target="all" tries to execute your webapp under JavaSE. Get rid of it. Make target="dist" the default target and then upload your jar to your webserver (Tomat, etc.).
