> The serializer knows of its own package name, not just through hard
> references, e.g. import statements, but through "soft" references in Strings.
> For example the serializer's CharInfo.java has this code in it:
> public static final String XML_ENTITIES_RESOURCE
> = "org.apache.xml.serializer.XMLEntities";
> When Apache code is repackaged (e.g. by Sun or IBM) it is
> sometimes has its package names changed. Repackaging would be
> easier and safer if the code in the serializer was not aware of its own package
> names in "soft" references in Strings. Hard references are easy to fix
> at build time, soft references will show breakage at runtime. It would be
> easier for repackagers, and safter if the serializer had not soft references
> to its own package name.
