This is a known issue in mimepull version 1.6 , which we are using along with jersey multi part jar . Try using mimepull version 1.9 and you will not see this error any more . Jersey Multipart 1.6 depends on MimePull 1.4 . First exclude the 1.4 and include this dependency explicitly like this :

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
   <artifactId>jersey-multipart</artifactId>
   <version>1.6</version>
   <exclusions>
 <exclusion>
    <groupId>org.jvnet</groupId>
    <artifactId>mimepull</artifactId>
 </exclusion>
   </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jvnet.mimepull</groupId>
 <artifactId>mimepull</artifactId>
 <version>1.9</version>
</dependency>
