Interesting thing is that their all using it standalone via the
Jencks.org stuff.
What is stopping us from splitting this out?
I say we just leave the gbeans where they are, rename the module
to geronimo-transaction-gbeans, then move the rest of the code
out, make a new pom and mark any deps still required with
'<scope>provided'.
Then we cut a release of it that both 1.2beta and 2.0m1 can use
Beyond your note, what's motivating us to split it out? ;-)
That not enough? ;-)
Certainly makes sense to provide a module which is not dependent on
GBeans (one day we'll get rid of them altogether...). That seems to
be the important part of any splitting. This can occur with or
without moving transactions to be separately releasable...
I certainly wouldn't advocate doing anything like this so close to
a release or two...
See my response to Matt.
