Is there a way to use JAX-RS annotated interface with Jersey as the client?

This link seems to be more practical: http://blog.alutam.com/2012/05/04/proxy-client-on-top-of-jax-rs-2-0-client-api/

// configure Jersey client
ClientConfig cc = new ClientConfig().register(JacksonFeature.class)
            .register(AnotherFeature.class)
            .register(SomeFilter.class);
Client resource = ClientBuilder.newClient(cc);
// create client proxy
ServiceInterface proxy = WebResourceFactory.newResource(ServiceInterface.class,
            resource.target(ServiceURI));

// invoke service
MyType result = proxy.someMethod();

For maven project you would need following dependencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-proxy-client</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
        <version>${jersey.version}</version>
    </dependency>

After some further googling I found that the answer is, provided you are using jersey 2.0, to use the jersey proxy-client module which can be found here: -
