The first step to use Jersey declarative linking features is to add a dependency to the jersey-declarative-linking JAR. If you use Maven for building a source, then the dependency to jersey-declarative-linking in pom.xml will look like the following:

<dependency> 
      <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId> 
      <artifactId>jersey-declarative-linking</artifactId> 
      <!-- Choose the right version --> 
      <version>RELEASE</version> 
</dependency>
