I think what you are seeing is correct. Because of Sun's license conditions, many of their jarfiles cannot be redistributed; they must be downloaded from Sun (including agreeing to the license etc). However pom.xml files *can* be uploaded, because they are not created by Sun. Even without the jars, they are useful as they define the dependencies etc. So download the jarfile from sun, and install to your local repository (or a repository hosted by your "organisation"). When you run maven, the matching pom will be downloaded and all will be well. I don't know why the sources jar is there. I have heard that Sun has started using a new license that allows source redistribution but not binary; maybe this code falls under that new license (NB: just a guess).
