Dear all, It seems Classpath includes the full set of interfaces for the Java Transaction API: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Transaction_API while the J2SE spec. only prescribes three exceptions used by CORBA: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/transaction/package-summary.html They were (apparently) added by Warren Levy and Tom Tromey back in 2001. Gentoo currently has a JTA package that uses the version of these interfaces from Sun. These still seem to under a proprietary license (though IANAL): http://java.sun.com/javaee/technologies/jta/ even though there is presumably also a GPL version in Glassfish. How do other distributions handle this? Is it worth our while moving these out of GNU Classpath into a separate package so people can use the Free Classpath versions?
