Servlet.init() and load() exception when configuring jersey servlet container

Question

I created my first Dynamic Web Project with a Tomcat v9.0 server in Eclipse, then I converted it to a Maven project in order to use Jersey. I've configured the web.xml as:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/crunchify/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

and the pom.xml as:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <release>16</release>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.2.3</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>asm</groupId>
        <artifactId>asm</artifactId>
        <version>3.3.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-bundle</artifactId>

    </dependency>

        <artifactId>json</artifactId>

        <artifactId>jersey-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.19.4</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

When I try to start the server I get two exceptions:

Servlet.init() for servlet [Jersey Web Application] threw exception
Servlet [Jersey Web Application] in web application [/MyProject] threw load() exception

This is the exceptions' stacks:

In Java Build Path I have the Maven Dependencies and all jersey jars are in src -> main -> webapp -> WEB-INF -> lib.

Anyone knows how to fix them?

Does this answer your question? [Jersey 2.32 IllegalArgumentException jersey.repackaged.org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64309183/jersey-2-32-illegalargumentexception-jersey-repackaged-org-objectweb-asm-classvi) — Piotr P. Karwasz, Jun 27 '21 at 04:27
You have two versions of Jersey in your classpath: one is in the `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib` folder and one is specified as Maven dependency. When using Maven the folder `src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib` should be empty (or better contain only those libraries which are not in a Maven repository). — Piotr P. Karwasz, Jun 27 '21 at 15:02
