In my opinion, it is that the javaee-api.jar that is being used is borked.
(At least in terms of use cases with Maven)
In the interim, I suggest changing from using the javaee-api.jar with scope
provided to using the individual jsr spec api jars with scope provided. (As
the individual spec jars do not seem to be borked)
