7u4 Request for approval for CR 7121110 - JAXP 1.4.5 update 1 for 7u4

[Joe Wang]

Hi,

The jaxp bundle that I'm requesting to be pushed into jdk7u-dev contains 
virtually the same content as that for 7u2 (see 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7091141).

During 7u2, it was suspected that the jaxp integration had caused a 
build problem.  The update was therefore withdrawn and deferred to 7u4.  
I have since reapplied the update in several small steps and tested by 
running the same jprt build that produced error during 7u2.  Kelly has 
reviewed my latest test and approved it.

The following are changes described in CR 7121110 (same as in CR 7091141):
JAXP 1.4.5 update 1, candidates for 7u2
