Kelly asked for 6-open and jdk8 as well. Since we're changing the jaxp bundle process, we thought we would do the same for 6-open and jdk8 once this works out. But we can take the change to jdk8 first if this is approved. The only question I had was that the jdk8 modularization would change the jaxp source structure. But Kelly thought that's not a problem. I guess we don't mind another big changeset :) I think it's too early to know if modularization will require the jaxp source code to be restructured as modules. It would clearly be desirable, in particular if jaxp migrates completely. However, if there are still activity upstream (you mentioned monitoring commits at jaxp-sources.java.net) or some need to keep the 7u and 8 code in sync then it would complicate things a bit.
