[5][PATCH] BUILDING.txt and build.properties.default refer to old JTA version

[Steve Downey <st...@netfolio.com>]

BUILDING.txt and the default build properties refer to an older version of the 
Java Transaction API. The current version is 1.0.1a, where the old version 
was 1.0.1. The are semantically the same, just documentation changes. The 
current version of the jta jar file is named jta.jar, rather than 
jta-spec1_0_1.jar 

I'm trying to get the Tomcat 5 build to be as smooth as possible out of the 
box. 'ant download' makes most of it very straightforward. For optional 
components, it's a little tougher, as many of them are behind license 
screens.

Several of the APIs that Sun provides also don't define a directory for 
themselves, such as JNDI and JTA. For these I've always placed them in a 
directory with the same name as the zip file, sans .zip.

After this patch, the build is slightly broken if Tyrex isn't available. It 
appears that compilation of  org/apache/naming/factory/TyrexFactory.java and 
TyrexResourceFactory are conditioned only on JTA. Patch to follow.

Patch is NOT to have full.dist=on in ~/build.properties. 

~/build.properties is nice when you're only building a group of related 
projects with the same environment. With unrelated projects, it's a source of 
much strangeness.

I worked with one guy who argued for an /etc/build.properties. Fortunately 
coworkers kept me for strangling him.
