Ludo, what's the status on this? Rajiv mentioned needing such a beast
for the pack, and I would like to modify my maven dependencies for
jsf-extensions to also point to an emasculated javaee.jar for the
compile time dependency.

Yes, I agree. We should have
groupId javaee
artifactId javaee
version 5
and
groupId j2ee
artifactId j2ee
version 1.4
And both of these should have only APIs, with no code. Note, that you'd
need some special tool to produce such a jar that would guarantee no
code in any of the methods. For example, the jsf-api in javax.faces has
a LOT of code in it (unfortunately). Such code would have to be
stripped out somehow.
