AbstractMethodError with URI Builder

I just tried following this tutorial to implement a token-based authentication for my web-service and just got done with the "Securing your REST endpoints" step, but now I am always getting an AbstractMethodError, when calling my endpoints.

I already read on another question that this problem seems to occur because of compatibility problems with the libraries, but the answer includes Maven, which I am not using, so I tried to exchange the libraries manually, but that did not work out and I kept getting the same or different errors.

Which libraries do I have to remove and which do I have to keep?

Current Libraries

The console output:

Solution

  • You might have got your issue fixed, but actual problem is

    The uri method is an abstract method in UriBuilder from version 2.0 of JAX-RS specification.

    You're trying to use JAX-RS 2.0 with Jersey 1.*. Instead, you need to use Jersey 2.* that implements JAX-RS 2.0 and contains implementation of uri method.
