You could have a look at Amdatu Web [1], that has a JAX-RS implementation that doesn't have a long list of dependencies. The dependencies on the website state that the Felix Http service and whiteboard are required but just tested this with the http-whiteboard feature provided by Karaf and this works as well.
Added the full list of bundles I've deployed to get this working below.
