JDK-8067474 - Examine reference to the lib/stax.properties in StAX
Description
This task is created to examine the references to ${java.home}/lib in the API specs for JAXP, specifically references to jaxp.properties and stax.properties.

The normative references to ${java.home}/lib came up during JEP 162 but it was decided at the time not to address these in JDK 8 time frame.
Comments
The remaining issue is the reference to the lib/stax.properties in the StAX specification, this will require an MR to update.

Chris has pushed the changes for lib/jaxp.properties -> conf/jaxp.properties to jigsaw/m2/jaxp: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jigsaw/m2/jaxp/rev/b7027b4b5c06

Chris is currently doing the lib -> conf move in the jigsaw/m2 forest. He will update the JAXP code and javadoc so that jaxp.properties and stax.properties are located in the conf directory. As JSR 173 is still a standalone JSR then a MR will be required.
