Jersey-Spring3 maven dependency issue

Question

I have declared jersey-spring3 dependency for my jersey2 rest application in pom.xml as follows:

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-spring3</artifactId>
            <version>>${jersey.version}</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-expression</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

After including this in POM, maven dependency problem is shown in eclipse as follows:

ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.glassfish.jersey.ext:jersey-spring3:jar:>2.6: ArtifactResolutionException: Could not transfer artifact org.glassfish.jersey.ext:jersey-spring3:pom:>2.6 from/to release.maven.java.net (https://maven.java.net/content/groups/public):

I have gone to the repository URL and have found the dependency there. Not sure why it says that it can not read it. I have tried deleting the folder from my local repository and doing a maven clean. But even it did not work.

Also I have tried doing mvn clean install -U also but of no use. It says it cannot find in both the respositories: Maven central repository and release.mavaen.java.net repository. What causes this issue?

Answer 1

Sorry. There is actually a problem with dependency definition. There is an additional character '>' in the version field of jersey-spring3 dependency. Once I removed it, it is working fine.
