That is not correct. It is a requirement for a *root resource class*, as
per section 1.5 Terminology.
A "/" can be used.
A "resource class" does not require a @Path on the class. If a root
resource class is used in the context of a resource class (namely an
instance is returned from a sub-resource locator method) then the @Path
on the class is ignored.
A "reource class" should have one or more of "resource methods",
"sub-resource locators" or "sub-resource methods".

The spec does not yet specify how those root resource classes are
discovered. See also section 2.5, specifically step 1 and 1 (a).

But the @Path on the class of the returned instance will not be
processed in this context. In this context what matters is the @Path on
the sub-resource locator method.
