Build error with javac Main not being found when building java.transaction module on Mac OS X

[Erik Joelsson]

So you have the source files for java.transaction in your jdk repo. Does 
your modules.xml list that module? At the start of the build, we 
generate build/<outputdir>/make-support/module-deps.gmk from modules.xml 
from which we construct the correct make dependencies between module 
targets. I'm guessing java.transaction is not showing up in your 
module-deps.gmk.

If java.transaction doesn't show up in modules-deps.gmk, we are missing 
that java.transaction-java depends on java.base-java, so make will start 
running java.transaction-java earlier than it should.
