Maven 2 Web Site
Description
The Maven 2 Web Site contains tips on naming Sun's technologies:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-coping-with-sun-jars.html
It contains the following line:
J2EE javax.j2ee j2ee
Actually Sun's Bill SHANNON (= Spec Lead of Java EE 5) told me that "they" (= Reference Implementation team aka "Glassfish" team) are working on publishing a javaee.jar (= open sourced APIs) as a Maven 2 project. In that context he said, that the abbreviation "J2EE" is obsolete and the often seen "JEE" abbreviation in fact is disliked (or let's say: forbidden). Since the official release of "Java Enterprise Edition v5", the official abbreviation is "Jave EE".
So I want to suggest that the above-mentioned document gets changed to contain the following line from now on:
JavaEE javax.javaee javaee
