xml-apis and java 9

Hello,
I got into a known, bad, problem with xml-apis package and Eclipse compiler.

The problem is that such jar contains classes that are on "java.xml" system
module and from JDK9+ such name clash is not allowed.

This is the issue for Eclipse
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=536928

but this is the issue on Java Compiler
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215739

in case they will fix JDK-8215739 the xml-apis jar won't be usable anymore.

I have dealing with xml-apis because it includes SVGDocument classes needed
by another Apache project, Batik.

I (and my collegues) will be happy to help and fix this problem

Best regards

That would be great.
I see the sources are on SVN

The xml-apis jar has been problematic for a long time; there are
several different versions floating around and the numbering scheme
seems to have changed at one point.

I, too, would be happy to help, if anyone can point me to the right
place to start.
