7121110 : JAXP 1.4.5 update 1 for 7u4 & jaxp source in jdk7 repo

[Gary Adams]

I see in the webrev the removal of drops.dir from the ant build.xml.
Should similar updates be applied to  README-builds.html for
ALT_DROPS_DIR and ALLOW_DOWNLOADS?

Might be good to put a note in
   $(ALT_JDK_DEVTOOLS_PATH)/share/jdk8-drops
indicating the files are now include directly
in the jdk8 repos.
