How to create REST client using JRJC

[John Sibo]

Trying to use the recommended JRJC library to develop a REST client. However, simply adding the dependency in the pom file breaks the custom plugin we are trying to build.

Is there a recommended way to build a REST client without having to pay a crap load of money?

Environment info:
- We are running an instance of JIRA 7.2.2 on localhost
- Pom file dependency: 

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.atlassian.jira</groupId>
    <artifactId>jira-rest-java-client-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
</dependency>
