Okay, on Maven Central, I have seen that the artifacts provided by 
libjaxb-java are provided separately for version 3.0.0 and any newer 
version by org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-core, org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-runtime, 
org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-cjx and org.glassfish.jaxb:jaxb-xjc 
respectively, but everything is still built from a single source which is 
to be found on Github [1].
Could introducing the new package src:jaxb-ri from which the separate 
binary packages libjaxb-core-java, libjaxb-runtime-java, 
libjaxb-cjx-java and libjaxb-xjc-java are built be a solution then?
