"J2EE 5.0 libraries (JBoss Tools) contains only subset of API"

--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

Normally, I have the JBoss 5.1 Runtime added to my project, but today I noticed that \
Eclipse also offers an entry called "JEE 5.0 libraries" when adding a library to the \
project build path (project -> properties -> Java Build Path -> Add Library... -> JEE \
5.0 libraries). 

I noticed though that this doesn't really contain the entire Java EE 5.0 API. It know \
consists of:

* javax.annotation
* javax.ejb
* javax.enterprise.deploy
* javax.jms
* javax.persistence
* javax.resource
* javax.security.jacc
* javax.servlet
* javax.transaction
* javax.xml

This is surely a lot, but some important ones are missing like javax.faces and \
javax.mail. This might be confusing to users, who are maybe going to add those libs \
to their projects opening the door to all kinds of deployment problems.

A small extra thing, which might improve the perception of this library is its name. \
In the selector box it's called "JEE 5.0 libraries", but afterwards it's called "J2EE \
5.0 libraries (Jboss Tools)". It's a small change, but adding the 2 in there might be \
confusing for users new to Java EE. Finally, although I personally don't really care \
about it, but I've noticed that some Java EE spec leaders are asking not to use the \
abbreviation JEE, but just use Java EE. See e.g.  \
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=59733#333373 \
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=59733#333373 . Java EE might \
indeed be easier for users new to Java, who are a little intimidated by all those \
scary acronyms  ;) 

Hope this is helpful.
