      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.6.0_02"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-b05)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Linux ronny 2.6.21-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Jul 11 03:53:02 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Take a look at the API doc of org.w3c.dom.Document.setXmlVersion() :
      http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Document.html#setXmlVersion(java.lang.String)
      There it reads:
      ----------
      DOM applications may use the DOMImplementation.hasFeature(feature, version) method with parameter values "XMLVersion" and "1.0" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports [XML 1.0]. DOM applications may use the same method with parameter values "XMLVersion" and "1.1" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports [XML 1.1].
      ----------

      The problem is that whatever version I try as parameter DOMImplementation.hasFeature() always returns false. This is reproduceable with all Java versions. According to the release notes, Sun Java supports XML 1.1 since Java 1.5 (see here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/xml/jaxp/JAXP-Compatibility_150.html#new).



      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
      Compile and execute the provided source code. Try with all available Java versions. Notice that DOMImplementation.hasFeature() always returns false.

      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I expected DOMImplementation.hasFeature("XMLVersion", "1.0") to return true on Java 1.4 and later.
      I expected DOMImplementation.hasFeature("XMLVersion", "1.1") to return true on Java 1.5 and later.
      ACTUAL -
      I saw DOMImplementation.hasFeature() always returning false when using the feature "XMLVersion".

      REPRODUCIBILITY :
      This bug can be reproduced always.
