I found this issue explaining why Xerces was added to lib/endorsed (bug fix for IBM Java)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-2206 That was in 2013, is anyone who is running Linux and IBM Java 7 able to check that Xerces can be removed from lib/endorsed?

It must be OK, since anything that doesn't work with the JDK JAXP is broken anyway.
