[eclipselink-dev] Maven Updates

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

  Thanks for the feedback.  I am adding the dev mailing list to this email 
since they may be interested.

  I have made some updates to the page.

  At the moment javax.persistence is found in the org.eclipse.persistence 
group.  We should probably consider either removing the javax.persistence group 
or moving all the javax.persistence bundles to that group.  I'll have to give 
some thought to which.  The issue is that there is actually some implementation 
in that jar - dictated by the spec. (e.g. Persistence.class, some 
ProviderResolver implementations etc.)  Community feedback welcome about this.

  I'll see if there is anything I can do about the JSR page.

-Tom
