[jersey-dev] getting started writing a client

[Rolf Schumacher <rolf@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am faced with the task to use a service deployed on the intranet of my 
company. For to use the service there is a Swagger API documentation 
available online with entries for POST, GET, ... showing data structures 
in JSON.

I know Java, Maven, XML to some extend and like to find out a good jump 
start applying Jersey for to use that service. I do not know about JEE, 
Spring, HttpClient, ... Used Java just for scripting everyday tasks and 
tools.

There are so many tutorials and examples out there. I spend 2 days to 
explore all this and came to the conclusion that my need is rarely 
addressed. I do not want to learn how to write a REST service, just to 
use it.

As I guess that a lot of REST services are available on the internet, I 
am looking for an example that compiles out of the box (Maven and or 
Eclipse would be ok) and uses an existing URL. I would then adapt that 
example to my needs.

Do you know one?
