You can resolve the version conflict by excluding the non wanted version from the apropriate dependency. For example:

    org.jclouds.driver
    jclouds-sshj
    ${jclouds.version}
    
      
        com.sun.jersey
        jersey-core
      
    

Or you add com.sun.jersey:jersey-core with the wanted version to your dependencies. Maven resolves version confilicts by supporting the dependency which is closest to the dependencies root.
