RFR: 8068938: Test deploying a XML parser as a module

[huizhe wang]

Hi Felix,

I would feel sorry for Frank since at the time we wanted all tests to be 
hosted in the JAXP repo. I understand the intention to consolidate repos 
as Alan suggested. However, if the JAXP repo is not hampering JDK 
development, I'd prefer an independent JAXP repo as is since it made 
JAXP dev much easier. That said, I have no objection to moving JAXP 
tests to JDK/test, that'll at least consolidate all of the tests and you 
may then take advantage of the JDK/test utilities for current and future 
test development.

Alan, what would you think?

Thanks,
Joe
