Do you mean "8015630 : Remove default restriction settings of jaxp 1.5
properties in JDK8"
(http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8015630)?

I think that will indeed fix the problem. It's just the chicken/egg
problem when bootstrapping a port. We'll first have to use an older
JDK to build a new version which can then be used as bootstrap-JDK
again - but I think we can cope with that:)
