I wonder if anyone has an opinion as to whether to use the latest & greatest Jersey 2.0, or the most recent 1.x release (1.18, I guess). I am not interested to be on the bleeding edge of development, I just want something reliable. Is Jersey 2.0 a big enough improvement to use it instead of Jersey 1.18? Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

    Jersey 2, as of today, does not have the community integration (e.g. Guice, Spring) that Jersey 1.x has. – Pace Jun 13 '13 at 21:53
  • Imho this question shouldn't be closed, but probably just rephrased as "what are the differences between v1 and v2. There must be something substantial since the *major* version number went up." – bvdb Jun 28 '17 at 13:54
