Description

Could you please explain the reason for the xml-apis dependency in the jdk 1.8 profile? Are these classes not already part of Java 8?

If there is no specific reason, can this dependency and profile be removed?

POM v5.2.1: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/xmlbeans/xmlbeans/5.2.1/xmlbeans-5.2.1.pom
