java-1.4.2-gcj-compat provides a jta.jar which is linked against
libgcj's libgcj.jar.
It seems that libgcj is wrong to include JTA in the core class
libraries. Previous J2SE versions may have included all of
javax.transaction, but the current specs for 1.4.2 and 1.5 show that the
J2SE now only includes a few exceptions, which are required by CORBA.
Further, this creates difficulties testing FC's Jonas with other
jpackaged JVMs because they require a separate jta.jar.
I propose:
1. Removing JTA from libgcj/classpath (leaving just the 3 exceptions in
javax.transaction which are provided by the J2SE)
2. Remove the jta.jar link from java-gcj-compat
3. Include a separate jta package in Fedora that contains jta.jar
Anyone have concerns/problems with this?
