While helping out someone else, I noticed they were trying to do Spring development using the @GET, @Consumes, and @Path annotations. It is my understanding that these annotations come from the JSR-311 specification.
I simply suggested that they use the Spring @RequestMapping annotation for mapping endpoints to their controller, but it made me curious as to whether or not Spring MVC (any version) supports JSR 311?

The Spring Framework is a full framework that allows you to create Java enterprise applications. The REST capabilities are provided by the Spring MVC module (same module that provides model-view-controller capabilities). It is not a JAX-RS implementation and can be seen as a Spring alternative to the JAX-RS standard.
@PanadolChong accomodate Spring MVC is still used in some legacy applications, and Spring boot does majority of the configurations under-hood so to have a better understanding of how things work internally, Spring MVC might help.
Jersey is the JAX-RS API example implementation provided by Sun, while Spring REST is of course Spring's implementation of the same API/JSRs. The major difference is that Spring REST easily integrates into other Spring APIs (if you wish) such as Spring Data Rest.
Short answer: NO. To quote Juergen Hoeller:
We're considering integration with JAX-RS on a separate basis - separate from Spring MVC's own endpoint model -, possibly supporting the use of Jersey (the JAX-RS RI) with Spring-style beans in a Spring web application context. This might make Spring 3.0 as well, depending on the finalization of JSR 311 and Jersey in time for Spring 3.0 RC1. Otherwise it would be a candidate for Spring 3.1.
However I haven't found such a support neither in 3.0 nor in 3.1.
Of course you can integrate frameworks like Apache CXF and use standard JSR-311 annotations. Spring MVC itself does not recognize these annotations.
