Description

transaction.manager embeds the transaction api. So all bundles that use the transactions api are wired to it.

Unfortunately it also has optional imports like for the spring transactions. So if such an optional import is loaded then all bundles using transactions are also reloaded.

The simple solution is to not embed the transaction api and instead install it spearately.
