> {code}
> According to what I read at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-158 and at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jaxp/limits/limits.html this seems to have been caused by some changes introduced in the JDK and that XercesJ doesn't support yet.
> Thus this issue is about adding support for them.
> Thanks!
