I've just now tried to compile Xalan XSLT 3.0 source code, using JDK
25, and I get following errors,

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR :
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] xalan-j_xslt3.0_mvn/src/main/java/org/apache/xpath/regex/PatternSyntaxException.java:[28,27]
package sun.security.action does not exist

  symbol:   class GetPropertyAction
  location: class org.apache.xpath.regex.PatternSyntaxException
[INFO] 2 errors

Xalan's XSLT 3.0 implementation, includes source code of JDK 1.8's
regex classes, to implement XPath 3.1 regex functions. Any guidance on
how to resolve these issues, shall be helpful for the Xalan project.
