I tried clean -> rebuild -> run . Didn't work. How to resolve this problem?

I have tried solutions from this and this . Nothing worked so far.

Answer 1

I had the problem with one of the Jersey dependencies. One of the dependencies required OSGI which was missing. I replaced all my Jersey dependencies with the implementation ('org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-servlet:2.25.1'){ exclude module : 'javax.inject' }
And the problem was solved.
