Inspiration has come from many sources :-) the commonality being to
try and make it easier to develop RESTful web services.
A very important goal of Jersey is to try and make things extensible
so people can experiment/play/innovate on top of it.

There are currently 4 JAX-RS implementations, JBoss RestEasy and CXF
are the other two.
I suspect that it would be easy to integrate Jersey with Restlet, if
one wanted to combined Restlet with Jersey features. Writing a new
Jersey container is reasonably easy, the main work would be mapping
the Restlet request/response to the Jersey request/response.
