Jersey: org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc cannot be resolved

Question

I want to use Jersey MVC in my project. I've never used Jersey MVC before.

I'm working in:

• Eclipse (Version: Neon.1a Release (4.6.1))

, using:

• Jersey 2.25.1

• Apache Tomcat 7.0.76.

But when I run on server I get the following stack trace:

Thank you in advance.

I put both jars in lib

Now here's my working basic example:

The structure of my project is:

The source code is:

MyApp.java

Hello.java

NewFile.jsp

To see the result I started the Tomcat server, then:

It worked!

Related to classpath/buildpath setting in Eclipse:

I didn't Add Jars (jersey-mvc-2.5.1.jar and jersey-mvc-2.5.1.jar) in classpath or buildpath. It worked anyway.

What really helped to understand all this is:

Absolute vs. Relative template reference
