Bug 360727

Description Matthew Adams 2011-10-12 16:34:13 EDT

Build Identifier: 2.0

It's always been difficult to use JPA in Maven or Ivy because there's no official JPA 2.0 jar that's published.  People have to end up using
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
or
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
    <version>10.0-b28</version>
</dependency>
or
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>persistence</artifactId>
    <version>10.0-b28</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
</dependency>
or
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
    <artifactId>geronimo-jpa_2.0_spec</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
    <packaging>bundle</packaging>
</dependency>
or others (Hibernate?).

Also, there does exist
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>
in Maven central.

Please publish a Maven artifact for JPA 2.0 & subsequent releases with groupId "javax.persistence" and artifactId "persistence-api" so that it behaves like JPA 1.0.2.

Reproducible: Always
