For the longest time java ee related spec apis ware not officially available in any maven repository.

Only lately with latest version of Java/Jakarta EE spec apis are starting to appear properly in maven central.

Another reason is as Petr said, some service loader configs (w)are different and in some cases even some impl classes (w)are added.

Hello,

This is probably stupid question but I was recently wondering, what's the actual reason why WFLY (and other RH technologies) use jboss versions of all the specs?
For instance https://github.com/jboss/jboss-annotations-api_spec instead of just picking up the javax.annotation artifact.

The contents are pretty much the same, so I think I have to be missing something trivial and obvious..
Is it historical reasons? Or perhaps a matter of licenses and productization?
