Actually it was added by committers because they wanted to consume 
and/or redistribute Jersey.  Two examples that I'm aware of are ECF (for 
OSGi remote services) and C/C++ dev tools (they use Jersey for their 
docker api I believe).

They and we did have to go through a legal process at the time...mostly 
because Jersey was not a project under the EF umbrella.   Now that it 
is, I don't think the legal process involves any more than a regular 
release as it doesn't really make sense to move Jersey to orbit...rather 
other EF projects can consume from other EF projects directly without 
extra legal review (my understanding as project lead).

All the simultaneous release projects are required to produce p2 repos 
so that they can be easily consumed by other SR projects. I know of at 
least two EF projects that are already consuming Jersey (albeit 2.22).   
There may very well be others using Jersey 2.22 that I'm not aware of.   
I think you can consider those projects as expressing some desire for 
using Jersey...and from my chair having Jersey in a p2 repository would 
help us/them...since our existing builds are setup to build p2 repos for 
the SR.

FWIW, the tycho maven plugin makes it quite easy to build a p2 
repository alongside a maven-based build.  Consequently, many eclipse 
projects (including mine) now produce both maven-ready bundles...e.g. 
for deployment to maven central...alongside p2 repos that contain the 
same bits for the same bundles.

I've actually been playing around with adding 2.28 Jersey to our 
tycho-based builder for this project [1]...if you are interested once 
done I can provide you with the features and tycho config.

If you are interested in gauging interest further among EF projects, you 
might want to post a query on cross-projects-issues-dev 
mailing-list[2]...this is the communication channel for the simultaneous 
release projects.
