java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/glassfish/jersey/server/spi/Container
<p>I am trying to set up a Jersey 2 servlet application. The goal is to map only some URLs to a Jersey REST API while other URLs serve static content.</p>

<p>I use <code>mvn compile war:war</code> to generate a war and deploy it. When deploying the artifact the following error occurs:</p>

<pre><code>[2016-01-09 02:50:21,617] Artifact Test.war: Artifact is being deployed, please wait...
