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

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Erik,

You're correct, the module-deps.gmk file does not have java.transaction in
there.

modules.xml does contain it as an export for java.corba (which depends on
java.base), i.e.

  <module>
    <name>java.corba</name>
    <depend>java.base</depend>
    <depend re-exports="true">java.desktop</depend>
    <depend>java.logging</depend>
    <depend>java.naming</depend>
    <depend re-exports="true">java.rmi</depend>
     ...
    <export>
      <name>javax.transaction</name>
    </export>
    ...

I'm also going to try Magnus's suggestion.

Cheers,
Martijn
