How to run the sample program given in Getting Started with REST Web Service API?

Report on How to run the sample program given in Getting Started with REST Web Service API?

First we have to install maven on your system.

Added maven path to eclipse this is external maven. Don’t use embedded maven which is given in eclipse.

Note: I am saying not to use embedded maven because it is having a bug. If you use embedded maven for test then it always gives following report.
    SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
    SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
    SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

But the thing is there is no need of SLF4J for running this code. We can simply remove this error by adding external maven

How to add external maven to eclipse.

Step1 Go to window in eclipse menu.
Step2 Go to maven in the list and in it installations.
Step3 Click on ADD and add folder of your external maven and click ok.

For the first time after adding external maven if we do mvn test it works fine. But for the second time we will get following error.

This is because the folder is already created so before running second time we have to make sure that the folder is deleted or not.
