I see in the webrev the removal of drops.dir from the ant build.xml.
Should similar updates be applied to README-builds.html for
ALT_DROPS_DIR and ALLOW_DOWNLOADS?
Might be good to put a note in
$(ALT_JDK_DEVTOOLS_PATH)/share/jdk8-drops
indicating the files are now include directly
in the jdk8 repos.

Hi All,
We have prepared a jaxp update for 7u4. The listed changes have been posted
to the jdk7u-dev alias with "7u4 Request for approval for CR 7121110 - JAXP
1.4.5 update 1 for 7u4".
With this update, we are adding jaxp sources back into the jdk7 repository,
which means we are abandoning the jaxp bundle download process. This is a
significant change. We'd like to hear if you have any concerns. If no
objection, we'd like to push the change within the next week.
The webrev is here:

This is good news. So what about jdk8? I think the protocol with 7u is that
changes go into 8 first. Also are you expecting to keep the code in 7u and 8
in sync?
Kelly asked for 6-open and jdk8 as well. Since we're changing the jaxp bundle
process, we thought we would do the same for 6-open and jdk8 once this works
out. But we can take the change to jdk8 first if this is approved. The only
question I had was that the jdk8 modularization would change the jaxp source
structure. But Kelly thought that's not a problem. I guess we don't mind
another big changeset :)
