Why do things have to be so hard?

I've been playing around for a few days (a little bit at a time) trying to get a simple "Hello World" app running using Jersey. For those that don't know, Jersey is the reference implementation of JSR 311 (Java API for RESTful Web Services).

They have a sample "Hello World" app you can download and run (in theory, anyway), but, as is all too often, it's not "download and go" (although it seems to think it is). I had to play around way more than I should have to get a simple example working (not even using Glassfish - that's going to be a whole other story when I'm done...).

Anyway, I got it working. I'll post an update on the silly things I ran into that blocked my progress.
