Why is it frozen? Depending on a library or project that isn't active
or cannot be adapted seems a bit concerning.

It's a Javax API. The only way to change/revise/update it would be a
new JSR xxx Expert Group, unless I'm missing something.
I don't know anything about this Content Repository API but I agree with
Sean that it is a bit concerning to be dependent on something that might
no longer be maintained. I see the last update to the API was 2009 but I
can't tell if this is one of these APIs with multiple implementations
maintained by different projects. Do you know if anyone has been
maintaining an implementation has tested it on JDK 7 or newer? As the
API was developed in the JCP then it may be that it needs a maintenance
JSR to update. This assumes of course that it is still relevant and
intended to work with modern JDK releases.
