I think that's a good idea, especially as a quick fix for the problem. I do wonder how easy it would be to make a set for ourselves. This problem is going to repeat itself w/ Java EE 5 and EE 6 (if there is one). I've asked that these be distributed in future versions under a license that works for us - it turns out CDDL doesn't appear to because it's source (of a sort...) - I suggested public domain.
