See public static Response.ResponseBuilder status(Response.StatusType status)
in Response class [1].  StatusType [2] has getReasonPhrase() which is what
you want to set to provide custom status message.
[2] states known implementing classes of this static interface are
ClientResponse.Status [3], Response.Status [4].  For example, [4] already
has 200 OK, so you can change it to 200 EXCELLENT with code similar to:
 return Response.status(new Response.StatusType() {
           @Override
           public int getStatusCode() {
               return 200;
           }
           @Override
           public Response.Status.Family getFamily() {
               return Response.Status.Family.SUCCESSFUL;
           }
           @Override
           public String getReasonPhrase() {
               return "EXCELLENT";
           }
       }).build();
When you do standard http request, first line in response would be
status something like:
 200 EXCELLENT
geterrorreason returns "EXCELLENT"
Hopefully this explains what you want to do - to set custom status phrase.
