Jersey service not found with recent version - maven

Question

I wanted to test a simple "Hello World" jersey service using Maven and Tomcat (7.0) in Eclipse. Maven downloaded the most recent version 1.17, but everytime I try to access the page I retreive a 404. However after changing back to version 1.9 it works as expected. Did anything change between those version or am I missing something?
What I do is calling localhost:8080/rngservice/rest/hello which gives a 404 error when I'm using jersey versions beyond 9. Using version 9 however works as intended and returns the HTML page.
Any suggestions?
My code:
package service.test;
import javax.ws.rs.*;
#Path("/hello")
public class RNGResource {
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public String getItHTML() {
return "<htm> <title> " + "Got it!" + "</title> </html>";
}
}
I don't use a web.xml but a PackagesResourceConfig for the servlet configuration
package service.test;
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import com.sun.jersey.api.core.PackagesResourceConfig;
#ApplicationPath("/rest/*")
public class RNGServiceApplication extends PackagesResourceConfig {
public RNGServiceApplication() {
super("service.test");
}
}
