Parsing of XML may fail on JDK8b91 when the XML uses an external entity with an exception like this:
------------------
Exception in thread "main" org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:/tmp/jaxp/bin/mf-layer.xml; lineNumber: 7; columnNumber: 19; External Entity: Failed to read external document 'mf-layer-eclipse-keybinding.xml', because 'file' access is not allowed.

Attached is a sample application. To reproduce:
1. unpack the attachment, go to "bin" directory
2. run:
java -jar parsing-test.jar mf-layer.xml

It fails with the aforementioned exception on:
$ java -version
java version "1.8.0-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-ea-b91)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b33, mixed mode)

It runs without any exception on:
 java -version
java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
