+=== Actuator and Jersey
+Actuator HTTP endpoints are only available for Spring MVC-based applications. If you want
+to use Jersey and still use the actuator you will need to enable Spring MVC (by depending
+on `spring-boot-starter-web`, for example). By default, both Jersey and the Spring MVC
+dispatcher servlet are mapped to the same path (`/`). You will need to change the path for
+one of them (by configuring `server.servlet-path` for Spring MVC or
+`spring.jersey.application-path` for Jersey). For example, if you add
+`server.servlet-path=/system` into `application.properties`, the actuator HTTP endpoints
+will be available under `/system`.
