[transaction] JDK 1.3 compatibility
Hello, when playing around with commons transaction I did a test compile with JDK 1.3. I wonder if we can still claim that 1.3 is the minimum requirement. One bug in the build.xml I fixed already [1]. But you still can't compile commons transaction with JDK 1.3 as it fails for ResourceManager extending javax.transaction.Status being JDK 1.4 compiled. Even compiling it with 1.4 and just running with 1.3 will fail as long as you don't provide the jta classes compiled with 1.3 - and I wonder if that exists. I don't see a problem if it would be only the jta/jca stuff requiring 1.4, but would like to see it clearly separated in the source tree then. (side note: How do other commons projects handle this?) But with ResourceManager and javax.transaction.Status that's not possible.

Perhaps its just a matter of finding them or pinging the project that is producing the ones you are using.
