Jetty Server exceptions while using in jersey framework - maven

Question

I am trying to use Jetty HTTPserver with jersey framework to make RESTful services. The code used is pretty simple:
URI baseUri = UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost/").port(9998).build();
ResourceConfig config = new ResourceConfig().packages("main.java");
Server server = JettyHttpContainerFactory.createServer(baseUri, config);
I am using maven to build the project with Java8 and following versions for jersey-container and jetty:
jersey-container-jetty-http - 2.17
jetty-server - 9.2.0.v20140526
But running the server is giving me AbstractMethodError. Here's the full stack trace:

Have you guys encountered this before and would anyone know a workaround for this?
