Hi, Please find below a patch that cleans up some of the reflection usage in jaxp. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130051
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dfuchs/webrev_8130051/webrev.00/ This is not a deep cleanup - it is just a first pass... There may be some opportunity to get rid of some more obsolete code - which can be addressed by followup bugs/RFE (such as JDK-8129892). I also took this opportunity to remove two files which are not used in the JDK. jaxp/test, jdk/test/javax/xml/jaxp, and JCK test suites (api/javax_xml api/xinclude api/xsl xml_schema) passed. best regards, -- daniel
