Description

There are currently Jersey 2 and Jersey 1.18 JAX-RS clients with/without JSON Jackson processing, These have additional dependencies on Jackson annotations, base 64 encoding (migbase64), joda-time, etc.

There should be a template that should use strictly JAX-RS 2.0 Client APIs, (no Jersey dependencies) and have minimal (or zero) dependencies on 'third' party jars.

Research direction
Examine existing Jersey client templates in the Swagger Codegen repository (likely under modules/swagger codegen/src/main/resources/JavaJersey). Create a new template that uses only JAX RS 2.0 client API classes (javax.ws.rs.client.*) and avoids dependencies like Jackson annotations or migbase64. Review issue comments (#2153) for any additional constraints or desired features.
