-----------------------------------------------------------------
Everything before Java 6 should be dead now.
At least versions 8 and 11+ are much more relevant in comparison. Currently
Xerces and libraries depending on it have to be removed in Java 9+ applications
because of the conflicts it causes.
Robin Verduijn's proposal seems sensible to me. It would be easy to add the
missing classes as optional dependency for users of unsupported legacy Java
versions.
While Java 11.0.5 will likely contain the changes of Xerces 12 (without XSD 1.1
support), this won't help with libraries that depend on implementation classes
of Xerces (e.g. AntiSamy).
PS: xml-apis would also have to be optional, all classes missing in Java would
have to be separate dependency.

> Remove org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation from xercesImpl.jar

> Key: XERCESJ-1689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1689
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: DOM (HTML)
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Reporter: Otmar Humbel
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.12.0
>
>
> The interface {{org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDOMImplementation}} is part of the JDK
> since Java {{1.7}}.
> Java 1.7 has been EOL 'ed since a long time.
> Is there any reason to keep this interface in {{xercesImpl.jar}}? It
> produces a split package:
> {{xerces-2_11_0: jdeps --jdk-internals -cp ./xercesImpl.jar}}
> {{split package: org.w3c.dom.html [jrt:/jdk.xml.dom, ./xercesImpl.jar]}}
> which prevents people from using modules in Java {{>= 9}}.
