i like what i see but at the moment i'm +0...
i'm a little uncertain whether the scope of the component has been given the thought it deserves. the description describes what's in transaction rather than the proposed scope for the component. in some ways, at the moment transaction feels like four good components rather than one.
(this might seem a little pedantic but component scopes have proved useful in the past)
with a good scope added to the proposal, i'd be willing to alter my vote to +1.

Folks,
as described in previous posts and inspired by the fine proposal for email promotion I would like to see the transaction component
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/
promoted to commons proper.
The initial committers would be Stefan Lützkendorf, James Mason, Daniel Florey and me. AFAIK none of us is a committer in commons proper so the promotion would include making as committers there.
We all are Jakarta Slide committers and this is where the component came from. We factored out code for a transactional file system, transactional maps (implementing Map interface) with different ACID strategies, general purpose locks and a few more helper classes.
Junit tests exist for all parts and succeed: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/junit-report.html
Javadoc is pretty complete
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/apidocs/ index.html
and general documentation and even a short tutorial for locks exist:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/transaction/locks/ tutorial.html
The transaction component is stable enough to be released as a 1.0 soon after promotion and would initially be maintained by the committers of the Slide community. Once promoted growth is anticipated as even in the sandbox it attracted some attention.
As I am not a commons committer, I have no binding vote, but my non-binding vote of course is +1.
