I vote for Java 7 as a minimum for Xerces 2.12.xxx
There is still a lot of very old desktop computers with java 6 & swing
applications. And maintainers need strong arguments to migrate to recent
JDKs.
Removing support for pre-java 7 in Xerces will be a strong-enough argument.

That sounds like a good idea. Testing on JDK 1.4, which has been EOL
for years now, seems like a waste of time.
Java 6 extended support ends this December, so either Java 6 or Java 7
might be a good place to start.

I'm curious. Why do you need 1.4 and 1.3? Do you have customers
using those?
This needs to be understood correctly. Xerces can run on min JREs 1.4
(if XSD 1.1 is needed) and 1.3 respectively. This doesn't mean, that
Xerces cannot run on higher version JREs (I've personally tested, that
Xerces 2.12.0 can run fine up to JDK 9).
May be its time, we need to revisit the min JDK levels for
Xerces. Michael Glavassevich needs to organize consensus on this.
