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.
Yeh, there are several undecided factors affecting jaxp project/source
right now. If there's no absolute requirement for a jaxp update in jdk8,
I would prefer we wait a couple of weeks for things to settle.
