Enhancement request declined by Project Lead. This large change is not critical to the success of the release. Please retarget to JDK 14.

Late Enhancement Request Risk level: low. The BCEL component is used for XML transform only. Pre-assessment showed that all of the existing XML related tests passed, including JCK XML tests, JAXP functional and unit tests. SPECjvm2008-XML.* tests resulted in no performance change when comparing builds before and after applying the BCEL update. Benefit: Keeping BCEL in sync with the external project.
