Like the org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax or org.omg packages in official Java API.
For the anecdote, I have hit an issue there, showing not everything is
solved by packages: at work we have a xerces.jar in the list of
libraries we use, not sure what for or where it is used.
Anyway, when I wanted to use Sun's integrated XML support (based on
Xerces too, as you know) and needed something from org.w3c.dom, Eclipse
was confused because it looked at the older implementation in xerces.jar
and told me some function wasn't available even if it was documented in
Java API!
Note that it compiled and ran fine...
