Adam Bien wrote about the Troubled with the crippled Java EE 6 APIs in Maven and a solution for them. Another solution has presented itself now that JBoss has finalized the Java EE 6 spec pom and added it to their public repositories as of early January 2011.

You can include the spec in your own project by adding the following to your pom.xml :

1
2
3
4
5
6
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-javaee-6.0</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

You may also need to add the JBoss repository to your pom.xml which is defined as :

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>repository.jboss.org</id>
        <name>JBoss Repository</name>
        <url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

I’ll be adding this pom to the Knappsack archetypes to resolve some of the issues people have been facing with the broken spec dependency.
