Bonjour, comment Java?

Finally, the Java EE 5 API jar has been published via a Maven repository:  
Check https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository/javaee/

So if you get this api jar file, you can compile the following class:

import javax.jms.Queue;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.mail.Session;
public class Foo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {       
	Queue queue = null;       
	Session.getInstance(null);
    }
}

In a Maven project defined by this pom file: (notice the scope value which is 'provided')

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>foo</groupId>
	<artifactId>bar</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<packaging>jar</packaging>
	<description>Java source code generation library</description> 
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>javaee</groupId>
			<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
			<version>5</version>
			<scope>provided</scope>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
</project>

You can compile you code with this jar, but of course you cannnot run your application with it since it contains only the Java EE 5 APIs and does not contain any method bodies. If you try to run, you would get this exception:

   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError:
  Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/mail/Session

In order to execute a Java EE 5 application, you'll still need a Java EE 5 container, like for example the GlassFish application server.
