Versioning is not a Jersey specific question. There is plenty of good
(and some not so good) information out there. The best way to do it that
I'm aware of is using vendor specific mime types.

That would be one option, another one [1] was suggested by Gili and

Even if your API is not flexible, i would recommend implementing one of
the above mentioned versioning methods and implement a special request
filter [2] in addition in order to allow the special version query
parameter.
The filter needs to lookup the query parameter in the original request
and return the request updated according to the selected versioning
method.
