Major Description
Currently, geronimo-jta_1.1_spec is installed in any case when installing the CXF feature in Karaf. This causes a conflict if another version of the transaction api (1.2.0) has already been installed, e.g. with the Karaf eclipselink feature.
Adding some more details from mailing list:
When installing the new eclipselink feature (version 2.6.0) together with CXF
3.1.2, there seems to be a conflict with two versions of the
transaction-api: eclipselink brings version 1.2.0 with
javax.transaction-api, CXF brings 1.1.0 with geronimo-jta_1.1_spec. When
both are installed, Aries Transaction Blueprint doesn't get the
javax.transaction.TransactionManager objectClass, and therefore doesn't
provide the transaction namespace.
When I remove geronimo-jta_1.1_spec from the cxf-transports-jms of CXF,
Aries Transaction Blueprint works. I haven't checked whether CXF functions
are still available, but at least all bundles are activated. And a
persistence unit at least reaches the failure point described here

(by the way: I would also be interested in a solution for that one).
My question: is there a better way to reach this? Or would this a Jira for
CXF to update the cxf-transports-jms feature to use the newer transaction
API?
