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.

Yes, 8078820 is right.



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?

But module-info.java in module java.xml doesn't declare "uses org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory". Btw, I was always working on
another JEP, will have an update for this task soon. Thanks



Best,
Joe

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?

We're probably going a bit off-topic here but I don't see why we persist with the jaxp repository. I think we should have moved the
code to the jdk repository a long time ago. In the short term then it might be annoying to not have the revision history (hg log)
but we've been through this kinda of transition already. Also in the short term then it might require you or others to do some
adjustments to your IDE setup but that shouldn't be a big deal, esp. with the source code layout that we put in via the JEP 201
work.

In any case, this all started with my comment about the tests being split between the jdk and jaxp repo. What would it take to get
the new tests to be located with the existing jaxp tests?
