Jersey for server side development
I have been doing web development for over 10 years, I have never heard of Jersey. Judging by their github page (https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jersey) it is not too popular.

Is there any example of a recent dropwizard application?
I'm trying to set up a simple RESTful API with dropwizard that does some basic CRUD with a postgresql database. I've managed to get some endpoints working with dummy responses following the documentation, but I am now quite stuck when it comes to implementing the database functionality. The page about JDBI3 doesn't really help because the example usage doesn't match with the example app in the repository, where the code looks quite different and with no recent commits. It seems to assume prior knowledge of all of these libraries (which I don't have).
- Dropwizard 2.1.0 has been released
