If you see your exception

Apache Jersey exception:java.lang.NoSuchMethodError : org.glassfish.hk2.utilities.AbstractActiveDescriptor

as per my experience , This Exception NoSuchMethodError because of Incompatible jar has been added to your Project library.

Use latest jar hk2-api-2.5.0-b04.jar instead of hk2-api-2.3.0-b06.jar . Probably this will solve your problem..
