This is the 2nd of the three [findbug] issues. The field fVersion is simply made final. webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~joehw/jdk8/8003261/webrev/ Obviously it was known that this was a potential problem as we have fImmutableVersion. So fImmutableVersion is now redundant with this fix. I assume changing the public API has the appropriate approvals?

This is Xerces implementation specific, used internally in Xerces' build system, although users may also use it to show the version of the implementation. For JDK/JAXP, it is not considered a public API.

Test: No new test needed.
