Maven dependency for Servlet 3.0 API?

Solution 1:

This seems to be added recently:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/servlet/javax.servlet-api/3.0.1/

<dependency>
        <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Solution 2:

I'd prefer to only add the Servlet API as dependency,

To be honest, I'm not sure to understand why but never mind...

Brabster separate dependencies have been replaced by Java EE 6 Profiles. Is there a source that confirms this assumption?

The maven repository from Java.net indeed offers the following artifact for the WebProfile:

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <id>java.net2</id>
    <name>Repository hosting the jee6 artifacts</name>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>        
<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>javax</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
    <version>6.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

This jar includes Servlet 3.0, EJB Lite 3.1, JPA 2.0, JSP 2.2, EL 1.2, JSTL 1.2, JSF 2.0, JTA 1.1, JSR-45, JSR-250.

But to my knowledge, nothing allows to say that these APIs won't be distributed separately (in java.net repository or somewhere else). For example (ok, it may a particular case), the JSF 2.0 API is available separately (in the java.net repository):

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
   <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
   <version>2.0.0-b10</version>
   <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

And actually, you could get javax.servlet-3.0.jar from there and install it in your own repository.
