Hello.

Is it possible to use Xerces in a (modular) JDK 9 project?

I'm trying to do SAX parsing with XSD schema validation, and in order
to resolve schema locations, I need to be able to set a resolver. I
can't do this using the JDK's included SAXParser as it appears to
conform to an older interface (1.4?) which doesn't provide a way to set
a resolver.

If I attempt to use Xerces-J 2.11.0, however, I get a ton of
compilation errors because packages in Xerces conflict with those in
the JDK:

Error:java: the unnamed module reads package org.w3c.dom.html from both xercesImpl and xml.apis
Error:java: the unnamed module reads package javax.xml.datatype from both xml.apis and java.xml
Error:java: the unnamed module reads package javax.xml.transform.dom from both xml.apis and java.xml

Error:java: the unnamed module reads package org.w3c.dom.traversal from both xml.apis and java.xml
Error:java: the unnamed module reads package javax.xml.transform.stream from both xml.apis and java.xml

Is there any timeline for getting this working (if it's happening at
all)?
