javax dependencies for m2

Is there a way to trun off the dependency checking of maven only for these
javax dependencies? Are these really required when I am happy with my
primary jars like hibernate and spring? I understand that the remote repos.
cannot have the sun jars because of license agreements and hence m2 cant
download them, but this is really stopping my maven progress.

Yes, it can be improved using the new <optional> tag. You still may
have to use exclusions in some cases thoguh.

What about a project like Spring, which will bring in a transitive 
dependency on JTA, but if you're not using transactions, you don't really 
need it?  Is the Spring pom incorrect?

Those files are needed to build your application. If you think the pom
is wrong and they are actually not needed you can file an issue at
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEV, so you don't need any hack in
your poms.

I don't know if it's the official "right answer" but you can exclude 
dependencies... I'm doing it to get rid of the wrong artifact names 
(servletapi vs. servlet-api) until the project poms are fixed:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
         <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
         <version>2.4</version>
         <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
               <groupId>servletapi</groupId>
               <artifactId>servletapi</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
         </exclusions>
      </dependency>

(And because it took me a while to figure it out, if you use the -X switch 
on the command line, m2 will show you where the transitive dependencies are 
coming from.)
