Re: [jakarta.ee-spec.committee] Pushing EFTL and EFSL binaries to Maven Central

I'm not expecting that specs will be published to Maven.  I don't see any reason to do so.  No software is going to download and use them from there.  They exist for humans to read.  They'll be published on jakarta.ee.  That seems like enough.

Kevin had asked if jakarta.management.j2ee was the right groupId to publish the management-spec*.pdf.  Truthfully, there is no correct groupId to publish non-open source binaries to Maven Central, so I don't know there is a correct answer to that question.

Now we are right up against the wall on timing for this release, so I'm pragmatically ok with "oops" and fixing this later.  CDI creates two binaries, one ASL for Maven Central and one for the JCP which is not published, so this is definitely a solvable issue.

With that said, when we have open source licensed versions of spec and TCK to publish, I think putting them in jakarta.management.j2ee, etc, is fine.   At this moment, most people's specs are not aimed at the jakarta.* groupId.


What do other's think?

 - Look the other way yes/no or fix now with another round of PRs for all specs?
 - Does everyone need to consistently publish specs to the jakarta.* groupId? (another round of PRs)
