-------------------------------------

             Summary: Back to OSGi import of `javax.transaction.xa` package
                 Key: DBCP-571
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-571
             Project: Commons DBCP
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Grzegorz Grzybek


I'd like to refer to DBCP-445 and DBCP-454 issues, which left commons-dbcp2 OSGi bundle with these headers:
```
Import-Package = 
...
	javax.transaction;version=1.1.0,
	javax.transaction.xa;mandatory:=partial;partial=true;version=1.1.0,
```

I've described some findings in https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.transx/issues/33 and I'd like to know what's the rationale behind this "partial" attribute?

First, `javax.transaction.xa` package is _complete_ in both JDK 8 and 9+ ([JPMS|https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/]) and it's not missing any class in JDK itself.
`javax.transaction` on the other hand do miss important classes and if anything, this package should be _special_, not `javax.transaction.xa`.

I'll do some resolution test with Karaf and will add more comments later. But if you (DBCP2 devs) know more about the mentioned issues, I'd be happy to learn more ;)
