Ok, understood. I was wondering why did this never happen before ? 
jakarta-regexp-1.5 and xalan are used since 10+ years together
I just found than Xalan has been upgraded to 2.7.2 last year. Before 
that, our provided xalan-2.7.1 did not embed org.apache.regexp package
Did we had our own xalan version ?

BTW, a similar issue was raised 15 years ago :) :
