It seems to me that classes included match those in the geronimo jta
spec. However, I'm not sure how these are getting included the
aries/transaction bundle. The pom in aries/transaction only includes a
dependency on geronimo-transaction 2.1.2. Perhaps the dependency on
geronimo-transactions results in a transitive dependency on the geronimo
jta spec that is including the javax.transaction classes.

I wasn't aware that there was any problem with redistributing those
classes. You're right, we embed those classes from the geronimo spec
jar, so I guess the problem is the same as in geronimo.

I was looking at how the transaction component was building to figure out
how the javax.transaction classes. If I understand what the build is doing,
then it appears that the bundle is getting built by directly embedding the
javax.transaction and javax.transaction.xa from the jvm used to build the
bundle. I'm nervous that this would cause copyright issues since these
classes are Sun copyrighted IP and I'm not sure that Apache is in the clear
with redistributing those classes that way. We've got a similar issue in
Geronimo right now, and I was trying to figure out how this had been solved
here when I discovered this. Am I interpreting what's going on with the
build correctly?
