8078820 -> Re: RFR: 8068938: Test deploying a XML parser as a module

[huizhe wang]

Saw Alan's update for JDK-8078820. 8078820 is the right id for this, 
isn't it? :-)  8068938 was a different issue that Sundar has already 
resolved.

By the way, I just realized that the previous webrevs didn't include 
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory. Would you want to add that too?

Best,
Joe
