I guess that a standalone app will not work with javax.persistence API only, it needs an implementation of it as well. And that implementation will most likely bring in the API as well.
The JMS API dependecy is already declared as provided, from log4j-core/pom.xml: <!-- Used for JMS appenders (needs an implementation of course) --> <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.spec.javax.jms</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-jms-api_1.1_spec</artifactId> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <!-- Used for JPA appenders (needs an implementation of course) --> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId> <scope>compile</scope> <optional>true</optional> </dependency> On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 12:48 PM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com>wrote: > Why?
