Actually, the issue is with "JavaEE 7 Spec APIs 1.1.1.Final" and "JavaEE 8 Spec APIs 1.0.1.Final" but they were not available as listed versions. These are the specs referenced by the Wildfly 14.0.1.Final BOM which I want to use because I want JPA 2.2.

The version in the spec pom is "<version.org.apache.jstl>1.2.6-RC1</version.org.apache.jstl>" but the repository has only 1.2.6.RC1-redhat-1. Same for both versions of the specs above.

See

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jboss/spec/jboss-javaee-7.0/1.1.1.Final/jboss-javaee-7.0-1.1.1.Final.pom

and

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jboss/spec/jboss-javaee-8.0/1.0.1.Final/jboss-javaee-8.0-1.0.1.Final.pom

There is a 1.2.6-RC1 version on "mvnrepository.com" but not one on on search.maven.org or any redhat repository. Since this is early adopter stuff I think there should be correct versions on https://maven.repository.redhat.com/earlyaccess and probably on search.maven.org since I can get the Wildfly.14.0.1.Final bom from there.
