AbstractMethodError usando UriBuilder en JAX-RS

Estoy tratando de construir un servicio web REST usando una respuesta asíncrona.

He mirado alrededor de este error en la web, sin embargo, ninguna de las soluciones han funcionado para mí. No estoy seguro de cómo hacerlo.

Este es el código para el servicio REST, tiene AsyncResponse, y @Suspended que se toman del archivo jar especificado en el pom.xml, que proporcionaré a continuación. El problema es que, al desplegar la guerra, obtengo una excepción:

java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.uri(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljavax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder;
    javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.fromUri(UriBuilder.java:119)
    com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:651)
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:728)
    org.apache.tomcat.websocket.server.WsFilter.doFilter(WsFilter.java:52)
note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/7.0.50 logs
