I was not basing this on the spec being final. The J2EE 1.4 RI is not a
java.net project. Glassfish/Java EE 5 RI is so I see good sense in
doing this for javaee.jar.
If we are to do this for J2EE 1.4, then we need to update the J2EE 1.4
RI and I do not see a real need for this. Also, this might require an
investigation of the license given the download for J2EE 1.4 is done
from java.sun.com.

Not sure I totally agree. If an application is being developed
specifically for J2EE 1.4, then i would expect that the development
platform is a J2EE 1.4 app server so i do not see this as an issue. In
the case of Connectors, both J2EE 1.4 and Java EE 5 use the same
Connector specification.
Now, that being said, I wish we had previously had the j2ee.jar files
contain only the interfaces but we did not and this has not been a huge
issue for us in the past. I am glad to see this change going forward
though.
