What does this mean?
Better Builds With Maven , page 83 ,second bulleted paragraph
"As you're compiling J2EE code you need to have the J2EE
specifications JAR in the project's build classpath. This is achieved
by specifying a dependency element on the J2EE JAR. You could instead
specify a dependency on Sun's J2EE JAR. However, this JAR is not
redistributable and as such cannot be found on ibiblio. Fortunately,
the Geronimo project has made the J2EE JAR available under an Apache
license and this JAR can be found on ibiblio."
What does "You could instead specify a dependency on Sun's J2EE JAR.
However, this JAR is not redistributable and as such cannot be found
on ibiblio" mean?Is this a consequence of Sun's licensing?

This page might need to be updated, as Sun has been recently releasing
code under the CDDL which does allow redistribution. They apparently
intend to release all of J2EE (nee JEE) under an open license, and
rename it Java Open Enterprise, or something along those lines
(according to my coworker who recently attended Java One).

Correct. If a commonly required jar is not in ibiblio, its usually a
licensing issue.
