RFR (jaxp): review backport to jdk7u-dev of 8008738 - Issue in com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.serializer.Encodings causes some JCK tests to fail intermittently

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

This is a request for review to backport the changes for:
<https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8008738>
to jdk7u-dev.

The changeset for jdk7u-dev only slightly differs from that
for jdk 8, on these two counts:

1. JAXP needs to be compiled with the bootstrap JDK - which
    means that JAXP in jdk 7 cannot depend on new jdk 7 APIs.

    In Encodings.java I had to replace a try-with-resource by
    a try-finally.

2. The jdk/test/Makefile needed to be updated in order to add
    javax/xml/jaxp to the jdk_other target.

Here is the webrev for the changeset that was pushed in jdk8:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/JDK-8008738/webrev.03/

Here is the altered webrev for jdk7u-dev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/JDK-8008738/webrev-jdk7u-dev.00/

Best regards,
