As Peter mentioned in the other thread (8068938...), references to jaxp 
changes in JIRA would point to wrong links, that would be disruptive. 
Plus, we (people who have jaxp workplace configured using the JAXP 
standalone structure) would have to spend time re-configure yet again 
for another repo change/move. Given our busy schedule, it's just 
unnecessary, IMHO.

At issue is test consolidation, we already have all jaxp test in the 
jaxp repo. For this particular test, I don't mind if we have to put it 
in the jdk repo in some kind of "module" category. But if you'd like it 
in the jaxp repo, Frank might need to investigate whether he wants find 
an alternative to the test libs he used or whether it's feasible to make 
a copy to the jaxp repo.
