I am trying to create the project as set out in the tutorial "http://crunchify.com/how-to-build-restful-service-with-java-using-jax-rs-and-jersey/". I have followed all the steps but I get thee POM error ....

Description Resource Path Location Type C:\Users\xxxxxx\workspace\CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample\target\m2e-wtp\web-resources\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF (The system cannot find the path specified) pom.xml /CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample line 1 Maven Configuration Problem

I've noticed that I have 2 Web Content folders: One under Deployed Resources, which does contain my MANIFEST.MF file and another at the same level as the Deployed Resources folder. Eclipse seems to be looking for it in the second WebContent folder where it is not located. Is there a simple fix for this?

I had similar problem and updating the Maven project solved it.

In Eclipse, right click on the project > Maven > Update Project

See this post: http://kodurishiva.blogspot.pt/2016/04/manifestmf-system-cannot-find-path.html

This situation returns when I do a maven clean.
