Hi all,
I have implemented a change today in how the system bundle exports the
XML and Transaction APIs (SLING-2109 [1]):
* In Launchpad Base the system bundle does not export these APIs
any longer. That is the respective entries have been removed from
jre-1.?.properties file.
* I added two system bundle extension fragments which in export
the transaction and XML APIs, resp.
(bundles/extensions/framework-extension-*)
* In Launchpad Builder I added these two fragments at start level
1 along with the LogService bundle.
With this setup it is now easily possible to replace the platform APIs
with APIs and implementations isolated within the framework. For example
by replacing the framework-extension-transaction bundle with the Aries
Transaction Manager bundle it is possible to have transaction support
inside the framework with the full JTA 1.1 API available (instead of
just the crippled version of the J2SE platform.

Felix
