RE: Xerces in JDK 8

Dear Michael,

Ok, I've found right now also this:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6984016

So I suppose the original Xerces 2.7.1 (?) in JDK is continually patched,
but no new features are added. That version info is rather misleading.

Thanks to this independence I hope new Xerces fixes (e.g. XInclude one :-)
can be propagated into JDK even before a new Xerces release...

We will see,

Jan
