invoking REST call at job startup

[John Duffie]

At job startup, I need to make a single REST client call.  Is there a
suggested REST client to use for this?

There is no clear recommendation. You should bundle whichever client you like or need. Common options are okhttp [1] or httpcomponents [2].

In the easiest case, you could also just use java's URL to send that one request and avoid a new dependency.
