[FIXED] Maven dependency for Servlet 3.0 API?

Issue

How can I tell Maven 2 to load the Servlet 3.0 API?

I tried:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

I use http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/ but what repository would be correct?

Addendum:

It works with a dependency for the entire Java EE 6 API and the following settings:

<repository>
    <id>java.net</id>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>

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

I'd prefer to only add the Servlet API as dependency, but "Brabster" may be right that separate dependencies have been replaced by Java EE 6 Profiles. Is there a source that confirms this assumption?

Solution

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Brabster separate dependencies have been replaced by Java EE 6 Profiles.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.
