Building xercesImpl.jar from xml-common

[Vivek Pandey <vi...@sun.com>]

xerces has xml-api (javax) sources and compiles them and references them
in the build.

I am trying to compile xerces with xml-commons jars. The only way i am
able to do is by changing xml-xerces/java/build.xml (to compile only for
target 'org' excluding 'javax') file.

Below is the diff of xml-xerces/java/build.xml, introduced new target
compile.xerces, which compiles src/org. This means i can set a classpath
pointing to xml-common jars so that it resolves xmlapi related
references from it. Everything looks fine with this change.

There can be better way of doing it:

-include xml-api.jar file in xml-xerces/tools. 
-Remove javax sources or do not compile them.
-add a path id or property to refer to xmlapi.jar file. This 
 path id can be overridden from the other build file which invokes this
build.

I think xerces/java/build.xml should be modified to take xml-api.jar
from xml-commons instead of from native source. Because xerces native
javax package can be out of sync with xml-commons javax package. 

Does anyone know can help how to fix this.

thanks,

-vivek.
