There was a problem hiding this comment.
there are x4 places in build.xml that will need HTMLDOMImplementation to be removed.
Worth noting that XERCESJ-1706 also mentions this and has a PR on the xerces2-j repo.

The various classes were removed from the jars some time ago. They've been in the JDK since at least Java 1.4. HTMLDOMImplementation.class is no longer bundled in 2.12.3 though it was in 2.12.2. It's worth noting that org.w3c.dom.html was bundled in OpenJDK 1.8 (as I verified by looking inside rt.jar) but did not appear in the official JavaDoc until JDK 11 (or maybe 9).
See commit 13826ae which removed the source code but left the build instructions behind. This PR finishes up by removing a reference to HTMLDOMImplementation from build.xml
