[fedora-java] A free jta package

Here's another SRPM for FC consideration....

http://people.redhat.com/green/libgcj-jta-4.0.0-1.src.rpm

This package Provides "jta", which is one of the nosrc RPMS in jpackage
that many other things depend on.

libgcj (and GNU Classpath) already include all of the classes and
interfaces found in jta, but not as a separate .jar file.  The separate
jar file is important because packages depending on jta usually run
"build-classpath jta" to find the jta jar file.

The SRPM actually contains no source code.  It simply extracts the
javax.transaction classes from libgcj-4.0.0.jar and zips them up into
libgcj-jta-4.0.0.jar (with a symlink to jta.jar).  We create a simple
noarch RPM since gij will use the native versions in libgcj anyway.

This package should satisfy the needs of all jta users (even for non-gcj
alternatives).

Could somebody please review the spec file and slip it into FC?  tomcat5
depends on it, among other things.
