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 :)
I think it's too early to know if modularization will require the jaxp
source code to be restructured as modules. It would clearly be
desirable, in particular if jaxp migrates completely. However, if there
are still activity upstream (you mentioned monitoring
comm...@jaxp-sources.java.net) or some need to keep the 7u and 8 code in
sync then it would complicate things a bit.
