# Jakarta Transactions
Jakarta Transactions enables distributed transactions to be done across multiple X/Open XA resources in a Java environment.

This standalone release of Jakarta Transactions, uses a [Java Platform Module System](http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/)
"automatic" module name of `jakarta.transaction`.  A future version will include full module metadata. Moreover `javax.transaction.xa` package is now owned by Java SE.
