Perhaps I missed something, but I can't believe that after nearly a week
of activity on this thread, no-one has pointed out the fact that most
Java EE 5 jars are available in a public maven repository and have been
for months:

https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository

This is a Maven 1 layout repository, so to use it in Maven2, you have to
have this entry in your pom.xml:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <snapshots />
      <id>java.net</id>
      <name>Java.net Maven 1.x Repository for external projects</name>
      <url>https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository</url>
      <layout>legacy</layout>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <snapshots />
      <id>java.net.shared</id>
      <name>Java.net Maven 1.x Repository for glassfish dependencies</name>
      <url>http://download.java.net/javaee5/external/shared</url>
      <layout>legacy</layout>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Note the "legacy" element.

Now, the jars

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.faces</groupId>
      <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
      <version>1.2</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
      <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
      <version>2.5</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
      <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
      <version>2.1</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl</groupId>
      <artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
      <version>1.2</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

These are not the only Java EE 5 jars in this maven repo. Please mine
the repo for others.
