title: Maven: Missing artifact javax.ejb:ejb:jar:2.0
body: <p>I have noticed a strange thing: in Maven central repository are available the releases of <code>ejb-api</code> and <code>javax.ejb-api</code> (both based on ejb 3.x), but the old <code>ejb 2.0</code> is not avaliable:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/ejb/ejb/2.0/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/ejb/ejb/2.0/</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/ejb/ejb/2.1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/ejb/ejb/2.1/</a></p>
  
  <p>There are only the xml or pom, but not the jars.</p>
  
  <p>If I try to include this dependency:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;javax.ejb&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;ejb&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;2.0&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Missing artifact javax.ejb:ejb:jar:2.0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why there is this difference instead of ejb-api 3.x ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
