[javaee-spec users] Re: Wish-List for EE 8

Hi,
Back to the thread discussing the Java EE 7 artifacts... The information
on this page (
https://wikis.oracle.com/display/GlassFish/Java+EE+7+Maven+Coordinates)
needs a couple of updates...

The version for the javax.servlet package should be 3.1.0 (not 3.1).

The version for the javax.faces package should be 2.2 (not 2.2.0).

I don't have authority to update this Maven Coordinate page. Can somebody
correct these two entries? Thank you.
