Good catch. It looks like the jar was already embedded in the first upload 6 years ago. XMLBeans has an option to use an alternative XML parser (with XmlOptions.setLoadUseXMLReader()) but it's never used in Debian. So the Piccolo parser is indeed used. Piccolo is a rather old parser, I don't think it's worth packaging it. I suggest patching xmlbeans to use the standard JDK parser instead. Emmanuel Bourg
