The Jersey RESTful Web Services, formerly Glassfish Jersey, currently Eclipse Jersey, framework is an open source framework for developing RESTful Web Services in Java. It provides support for JAX-RS APIs and serves as a JAX-RS (JSR 311 & JSR 339 & JSR 370) Reference Implementation.
The JAX-RS (JSR 311: The Java API for RESTful Web Services) specification provides a standardized Java-based approach to implementing REST-style web services. Jersey is the reference implementation of JAX-RS and I provide a brief introduction to JAX-RS via Jersey in this blog post.

If the version is not mature enough for you, try Spring 3 MVC for building REST webservices, works with Java 5:
You sure? Jersey 1.7 guide claims 1.5 works, with some additional jars.
