[8u-dev] Request for approval: 8149915: enabling validate-annotations feature for xsd schema with annotation causes NPE

[Aleksej Efimov]

Hi,

Please, approve backport of NPE fix [1] to JDK8u-dev.
The fix is almost a straight-forward backport (after path reshuffling):
This fix caused JCK test failure in JDK9 [2], one-liner fix for the 
failure also included into this backport.
Regression test for the issue was moved from 'jaxp' to 'jdk/test' folder 
with minor modification: jtreg header was added.
Testing shows no JTREG/JCK xml tests failures.

JDK9 changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jaxp/rev/95c223e6eaf0

JDK9 Review thread:

JDK8 webrev with backported changes:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aefimov/8149915/8/00/

Thanks,
Aleksej
