Cannot find symbol PathParam in Jersey

Question

Here's my code

@Path("/users/{id}")
public class MyResource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getId(@PathParam("id") String id) {
        return "Getting Messages for User : " + id;
    }
}

All i get is

..MyResource.java:[17,29] error: cannot find symbol

So far i have checked both this https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CLOVERKB/Maven+2+plugin+fails+with+cannot+find+symbol+exception+when+defining+two+locations+for+source+files

& this

maven "cannot find symbol" message unhelpful

but without any success.

I was looking at your pom.xml in your link, and it looks like you are using a Maven archetype that I am familiar with. The code you've posted is the only class provided by the archetype. Only difference is, your addition of the @PathParam (and the change of path). In which case, you still need to import the annotation :-)

import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
