Not really... :-) There are specs (i.e. paper) provided by Sun but different organizations can implement them. Apache is one and they do for example for the Servlet/JSP specs but also for the J2EE ones (in Geronimo). The apache code is licensed under the ASL. > The required j2ee-related jar files are available from the maven repo, or > from sun.com. Not really. The Sun J2EE jar is NOT redistributable (this means it has to be downloaded by each person from the sun web site and that person has to view and approve the license). This is because the Sun license requires this. The JBoss J2EE jar is indeed redistributable (that's why it's on ibiblio) but under a LGPL license which means it cannot be redistributed by an ASL project.
