I’m getting this particular error when trying to start Grizzly’s HttpServer:

Process finished with exit code 1

From what I’m able to determine, this appears to be a dependency issue, but I’m at a loss as to which dependencies.

Main.java:

package org.golfballdm;

import org.glassfish.grizzly.http.server.HttpServer;
import org.glassfish.jersey.grizzly2.httpserver.GrizzlyHttpServerFactory;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.golfballdm.ledgers.LedgerResource;
import org.golfballdm.census.CensusResource;

public class Main {
    public static final URI BASE_URI = URI.create("http://localhost:8080");

    // Starts Grizzly HTTP server
    public static HttpServer startHttpServer() {

        final ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig();
        config.register(LedgerResource.class);
        config.register(CensusResource.class);
        // JacksonFeature for JAXB/POJO, for pure JSON, no need this JacksonFeature
        // config.register(JacksonFeature.class);

        return GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(BASE_URI, config);  // <---- This line raises the error
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {

            final HttpServer server = startHttpServer();

            server.start();

            // shut down hook
            Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread(server::shutdownNow));

            System.out.println("Application started.%nStop the application using CTRL+C");

            // block and wait shut down signal, like CTRL+C
            Thread.currentThread().join();

        } catch (InterruptedException | IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

    }
}

The resource classes just have a GET operation returning a Hello World.

This exact code did work last week (I reverted back to my master branch, which was working when I checked it in), hence I’m suspecting a dependency issue.

I’m expecting the webserver to start normally, and output some text to stdout.
