Hi All,

We have prepared a jaxp update for 7u4. The listed changes have been posted to the jdk7u-dev alias with "7u4 Request for approval for CR 7121110 - JAXP 1.4.5 update 1 for 7u4". With this update, we are adding jaxp sources back into the jdk7 repository, which means we are abandoning the jaxp bundle download process. This is a significant change. We'd like to hear if you have any concerns. If no objection, we'd like to push the change within the next week.

In the IcedTea project, we have found this split of jaxp (and jaxws) sources into a separate tarball to be problematic for patching. In fact, we have added the sources into the jaxp tree in the icedtea forest: http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2011/09/29/icedtea7-2-0-pre-release/

So this merge happening in the 7u4 forest(s) is great news for us!

However, if you are looking for feedback from the wider community, may I suggest waiting for a longer period? Many people are away on vacation during the next week due to Christmas and New Year holidays.

Thanks, Omair
