Hi Naresh, Both xml-apis.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar have the same contents. They currently both exist because we wanted to give users a chance to change their environments (CLASSPATH, etc...) without abruptly removing xmlParserAPIs.jar. This file is deprecated, which means users are encouraged to use xml-apis.jar (which is the new name for this package, inline with the naming convention from XML commons). Once users have been given enough time to switch over, xmlParserAPIs.jar will disappear in some future release.
xerces.jar which we no longer distribute contains both the Xerces implementation and the standard APIs such as SAX and DOM. Given that these standard interfaces are used by other XML technologies (Xalan for instance), we split xerces.jar into two packages: xml-apis.jar (the interfaces), and xercesImpl.jar (the implementation).
