I am writing my first Java REST application.
I was following this tutorial:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/restful/restful_first_application.htm
but I am getting this error:
HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error
Type Exception Report
Message Servlet.init() for servlet [Jersey RESTful Application] threw exception
Description The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
Exception

Could you help me?
I checked with many similiar topics and articles also here on Stack Overflow but nothing helped me.
My specification:
OS: Windows 10
IDE: Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0)
Application server: apache-tomcat-9.0.38
jaxrs-ri-2.25.1
I copied code from tutorial website to my project to make sure I made no mistake.
