             Summary: 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
             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}}.
