We're not considering this change for jdk7 or older, i.e. I haven't thought about fixing 6975142. For jdk8, it seems we have to live with the way it is in (2), a seemly incompatible behavior in backward compatible mode, although, it is a very rare case (I regret to have taught or sent standalone jar files to those customers :) ). No, this isn't for jdk7 or older.

I don't fully grok the issue in 6975142. That looks to me to be a case where the service provider implementation is including its own copy of the javax.xml.stream.* classes and this is the cause of the ClassCastException.
