Unless we are debugging our implementation of those APIs themselves, this *should* mean that we no longer need our old kluges of shoving Xalan onto the bootclasspath or using java.endorsed.dirs to cheat ahead of the copy Oracle/Sun are shipping.
In fact, I believe -Djava.endorsed.dirs was dropped after Java 8 because it was (everyone hoped) no longer needed.
I submit that it may be time to remove that workaround from xalan-test, and just set the properties appropriately. See https://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#plug https://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/xpath_apis.html And: https://search.oracle.com/results?q=jaxp Also: https://www.saxonica.com/documentation9.7/index.html#!conformance/jaxp(SIDE NOTE: Oracle proposed a similar standard, XQJ, for XQuery. But that API is under a "no modifications" non-OSI-compliant license. Saxon solved that by shipping XQJ support as a separate jarfile, which folks could discard if that license was unacceptable. If/when Xalan ever acquires XQuery support, we will need to think about whether and how we can support that.)
