So you have packaged blend4j and all of its dependencies into one jar file? I don't have any experience doing that. I could imagine potentially some files conflicting and only one version being written and so jersey-json breaks? Is this a possibility, some of the jar metadata sort of files?
I have used blend4j a few different ways (in a war, as a Java web start application, and as a standalone application) but always with applications where it is in its own jar file and all of its dependencies are in their own and original jar files. So I would recommend using it in that mode, if that is not possible however I would search the web for others having problems repackaging jersey-json.
As for development, you can use my artifactory server to grab the canonical blend4j, by adding the following to your pom.xml file:
<repositories> <repository> <id>msi-artifactory</id> <name>MSI Artifactory</name> <url>http://artifactory.msi.umn.edu/libs-snapshot</url> </repository> </repositories>
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.github.jmchilton.blend4j</groupId> <artifactId>blend4j</artifactId> <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> ....
If instead you want to test your own changes to blend4j, I believe you can just do a "mvn install" or something like that from the blend4j fork directory on your development server to install a local copy into your maven cache. blend4j is the first project I have used maven with, so some of my terminology could be wrong there, but hopefully the idea makes sense. Also happy to look at pull requests if it helps to push changes upstream.
Sorry if this response is not more helpful, let me know if there is anything else I can do or answer.

Hello all,
I'm trying to implement blend4j in a java application. for this I cloned the source, fetched the dependencies and added a maven assembly plugin to assemble a jar file with dependencies. This jar I put in my classpath.
Now fetching histories works, but creating a new one fails. Online I see a lot of jersey users have this problem and it seems like jersey-json is not available, but jersey-json is packaged in the jar.
Anyone else have this problem?
@John maybe you have better practices? I would like to have blend4j in my maven dependencies, but not build my own nexus.
Thanks,
Eric
