Jersey 2.7 with Dropwizard 0.7 - is this supported?

Question

I am having a Dropwizard based RESTful application. Dropwizard v0.7 seems to have a dependency on jersey 1.18.

I am trying to upgrade jersey to 2.7 retaining dropwizard 0.7. But there seems to be dependency for dropwizard with jersey 1.18. Being a loosely coupled framework, I was expecting a simple change of maven dependency could solve my problem.

Is this supported or am I trying something that is not officially supported by dropwizard ??

Answer 1

There is no support at this time, but there is an experimental branch by Saad Mufti that should work. It depends upon modified version of Metrics and I think this is one of the main reasons why it hasn't been merged yet.
