Jmx-1_2_1-ri.zip & maven

Question

I downloaded jmx-1_2_1-ri.zip and ran this command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.sun.jmx -DartifactId=jmxri -Dversion=1.2.1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=./jmx-1_2_1-ri.zip
so it is now in my local maven repo (C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.m2\repository
(before you point me to the error messsages in maven that show me where to go to download jars, please note that I have already gone to the URL and there is nothing to download except documentation (pdf files). You can go to the URL's and see there is no reference implementation, just docs.
It would be great if Sun ran their own maven repo where we could get jars (and actually kept it up to date).
URL's (nothing here except docs - no jars no ri

Answer 1

I am very puzzled at what you write. If I go to http://java.sun.com/products/JavaManagement/download.html I see a section titled SPECIFICATIONS and a later section titled BINARY DOWNLOAD. In this second section I can download the implementations of the JMX and JMX Remote APIs.
What you write might be true of the JMS API, but the JMS and JMX APIs are completely unrelated (despite their similar names).
