A bundle project producing JAX-RS RI bundles. The primary artifact is an "all-in-one" OSGi-fied JAX-RS RI bundle (jaxrs-ri.jar). Attached to that are two compressed JAX-RS RI archives. The first archive (jaxrs-ri.zip) consists of binary RI bits and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI libraries (under "lib" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The secondary archive (jaxrs-ri-src.zip) contains buildable JAX-RS RI source bundle and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI sources (under "src" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The second archive also contains "build.xml" ANT script that builds the RI sources. To build the JAX-RS RI simply unzip the archive, cd to the created jaxrs-ri directory and invoke "ant" from the command line.

There is a newer version: 3.1.6

 * Defines the media types that the methods of a resource class or {@link jakarta.ws.rs.ext.MessageBodyReader} can accept.
 * If not specified, a container will assume that any media type is acceptable. Method level annotations override a
 * class level annotation. A container is responsible for ensuring that the method invoked is capable of consuming the
 * media type of the HTTP request entity body. If no such method is available the container must respond with a HTTP
 * "415 Unsupported Media Type" as specified by RFC 2616.
