Would be great to have these updates available for G 2.1.x and G 2.2.x servers! Personally, I think moving the tx-manager branch to 2.2 and tx-manager trunk to 3.0 would be just fine. I don't think the OSGi version scheme has much bearing for consumers of 2.1 and the new 2.2. 3.0 gives you a major version bump where you most need it -- where you have the most OSGi consumers and where the spec version bumps. I won't have a strong objection to moving branch to 3.0, if that's what is decided. Just strikes me as slightly confusing... --kevan
