Answer 1

I was finally able to solve this problem by adding to my POM
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.main.packager</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-ejb-lite</artifactId>
<version>5.0</version>
</dependency>
Then I realized that glassfish-ejb-lite-5.0.jar is not available in maven repository so I manually downloaded the source jar glassfish-ejb-lite-5.0-sources.jar from the net and manually added it to my local repository.
This solved the problem for now till the glassfish-ejb-lite.5.0 is officially available in maven central.
I hope this helps somebody with a similar problem.
