[Jersey] Jersey can produce List<T> but cannot Response.ok(List<T>).build()?

Jersey can produce:

@Path("/stock")
public class StockResource {
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public List<Stock> get() {
        Stock stock = new Stock();
        stock.setQuantity(3);
        return Lists.newArrayList(stock);
    }
}
But cannot do the same with:

@Path("/stock")
public class StockResource {
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response get() {
        Stock stock = new Stock();
        stock.setQuantity(3);
        return Response.ok(Lists.newArrayList(stock)).build();
    }
}
Giving the error: A message body writer for Java class java.util.ArrayList,
and Java type class java.util.ArrayList, and MIME media type
application/json was not found

This prevent the use of HTTP status code and headers.
