I'm pretty sure both jars allow redistribution as long as it's a part of
a larger work (namely JAXB plugin.) So I can put it on the maven
repository under the JAXB project.
Meanwhile, you can grab jsr173_api.jar from
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/xmlbeans/jars/

No. You do need activation.jar and StAX API, but not J2EE nor JWSDP. I'm
sorry for not having those jars upfront in our maven repository, but
please bare with us for little more...
I'll let you know once I post activation.jar.
