Take the 2-minute tour ×  In Java 6, the entire xerces XML
parser/serializer implementation is now in the Java runtime
(rt.jar). The packages have been moved under the com.sun.*
namespace, which places them off-limits for explicit reference
within client code. This is not a problem when using the parser,
which is instantiated via javax API-defined factories.  However,
our code also uses xerces serialization
(org.apache.xml.serialize.* ). AFAICT, there are no javax.xml
API-defined factories for creating instances of Serializer and
OutputFormat. This seems to imply that the only way to get one
is to explicitly call the com.sun.org.apache.xml.serialize.*
APIs.  I've found the serialization classes in javax.xml.stream,
but they don't seem to provide any output-formatting control
like the xerces OutputFormat class.   Is there a way to access
the xerces serialization functionality (which is in rt.jar) via
a javax standard API, without including xerces.jar and also
without explicitly instantiating com.sun.* classes?
