我是否可以创建一个Maven项目，期望包含它的任何人都可以实现任意Java-ee 6库？

Question

I am creating a project that will be useful for anyone with a java-ee environment. I wan't to include the bare bones java-ee interface library in my project to allow me to code with all of the EJB annotations but i would rather make it's scope provided so as not to import all the classes into my project.

Is there a way I can make this dependency and require any user to have a java-ee library or do I have to make something like maven profiles that activate when it detects each server type, (ie one for jboss, one for glassfish, websphere, etc...).

my pom looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>project-that-wants-users-to-have-javaee-libraries</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-Pre-alpha</version>

    <dependencies>
        ....
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
            <version>6.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</project>

EDIT: just to clarify what I Am asking, Say I have a maven project like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>testEJBProject</artifactId>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
            <artifactId>jboss-javaee-all-6.0</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.2.Final</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.example</groupId>
            <artifactId>project-that-wants-users-to-have-javaee-libraries</artifactId>
            <version>0.0.1-Pre-alpha</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.jboss.as.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>jboss-as-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>7.4.Final</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

will the dependency in my code be satisfied at runtime even though i'm specifically using the jboss-javaee-all-6.0 api and plugin?

Answer 1

It is my understanding that specifying the java api's and scoping them to provided will cause the dependency to expect anything using it to already have the implementations of those api's on the class path. you specify a dependency as provided like so:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.example</groupId>
        <artifactId>tobeprovidedproject</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
