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

[Erik Joelsson]

Then please check that your top level repo is properly up to date. It 
should contain:

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