JavaEE API for WebLogic

Question

There are different server specific JavaEE API implementations like: glassfish-javaee or jboss-javaee.
They are distributed as a separate .jar file and could be attached to some project using Maven dependencies.
Is there something like this desinged specifically for WebLogic AS?
I expected weblogic.jar file contains requered artifacts, but it doesn't look like this.
Any ideas?

Ideally you would want to use the javaee-api dependency, not something that is server specific. For the things that are server-specific (not core EE API) then you could include weblogic.jar or use the utilities with WebLogic to create the WLFullClient.jar file.

Java EE 5:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javaee</groupId>
    <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
    <version>5</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Java EE 6:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
  <version>6.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
