"nojai" do not exists anymore. I made the "nojai" profile permanent. This topic
was raised on the mailing list last week. If I remember right, we also raised
the topic in a IRC meeting a few weeks ago (but I'm not completly sure).

The "nojai" profile was mandatory for Maven 2.0.6, and optional for Maven 2.0.5
and 2.0.4 (providing that the user installed JAI in his jre/lib/ext directory).
Maven 2.0.6 is stricter about classpath than Maven 2.0.5 was; it ignores totally
the content of jre/lib/ext. So the standard build (without "nojai" profile) is
useless with Maven 2.0.6.
The "nojai" profile was added in order to avoid the "symbol not found:
javax.media.jai.whatever" compiler error that numerous users meet. Prior to the
change I just made, the user had to specify the "-Pnojai" flag explicitly. Now
they don't need to specify this flag anymore.
Again, this is in reaction to the fact that "mvn install" without the "-Pnojai"
flag do not work anymore starting with Maven 2.0.6. So I though that it is
better to make the "nojai" profile permanent.

User don't need to install JAI for building and testing with Maven. However they
still need to install JAI for running their own application with Geotools. This
is because JAI is declared with "provided" scope in Maven, meaning that it is
expected to already exists on the target desktop.
"provided" was the scope declared by the "nojai" profile and I didn't changed
that for "jai_core". I downgraded "jai_codec" from "provided" to "test" scope
when it was suffisient for Maven build. It make no difference for deployed
applications.
