We've had many requests to publish a jar file that contains all the Java EE APIs
so that people can compile Java EE applications without having a Java EE app server
installed on their desktop/laptop. We currently produce a javaee.jar file that
contains all the public APIs. Unfortunately, that jar file also contains some
fraction of the required Java EE code, because many of the APIs are defined with
concrete classes instead of just interfaces.
What we would like is a jar file that contains all the API definitions, but no
code at all. This would be suitable for compiling but clearly couldn't be used
at runtime at all.
