Since Axis2 1.5 depends on Java 1.5, there is no need to include xercesImpl anymore and it works fine without it. Xerces still got packaged into Axis2 1.5 because of an incorrect dependency in axis2-jaxws: this module has a direct dependency on jaxen (which in turn depends on xercesImpl), while it doesn't use Jaxen. This also causes axis2-jaxws to have a transitive dependency on jdom, dom4j, XOM and some other unnecessary stuff. If we fix the dependencies of axis2-jaxws, xercesImpl will no longer be included in the dist and the users can add the version they want if they have a specific need for this.
Note that up to now, there is no evidence that the xercesImpl version causes any issues. The post by Wim Goossens probably means that in his own code, he is using some feature that only exists in recent Xerces versions. Unfortunately he didn't reply to my request to provide additional information.
