[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6198) "J2EE 5.0 libraries (JBoss Tools)" contains only subset of API

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6198?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12583539#comment-12583539 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-6198:
--------------------------------------------

Optimally we should support both the notion of maven and non-maven projects for this.

The main Maven Repo's aren't fine with Java EE spec, but jboss.org's are - we provide a maven addressable artifact for most jars - those that aren't available can be made available.

And spec's doesn't change often - but they do change and some of them have implementation specfic bits in them....and bundling them with the plugin is just a recipe for maintenance hell (aka. see above ;)

> JBoss Tools 3.1.0.GA adds a library to Eclipse called "J2EE 5.0 libraries (JBoss Tools)". The name of this library suggests it's the full Java EE 5 API, however upon inspection it appears to be a subset:
> javax.annotation
> javax.ejb
> javax.enterprise.deploy
> javax.jms
> javax.persistence
> javax.resource
> javax.security.jacc
> javax.servlet
> javax.transaction
> javax.xml
> Among others,  javax.faces and javax.mail are missing. 
> Additionally, the name of the library is not consistent. In project -> properties -> Java Build Path -> Add Library... it's called "JEE 5.0 libraries", but after adding it to a project it's referred to as "J2EE 5.0 libraries (JBoss Tools)". I think "Java EE 5 libraries" would be the best name as both "JEE 5.0" and "J2EE 5.0" are not official terms.
