The specs subproject is a small project which aims to provide easy to use versions of some of the JEE specs for an OSGi environment. The main work is done by hacking the factories to call the specific OSGi classes as explained in [1]. This release contains jaxb (2.0, 2.1), jaxws (2.0, 2.1), saaj and stax apis. The jaxb specs have been rewritten and the compliance is checked at build time using the jdiffapi maven plugin [2] which uses asm to load the classes and check for any differences. I've been able to catch a few problems this way (see [3]). I've also had a hard time figuring how to correctly use the maven shade plugin to create the correct jars, sources and javadocs.
