fix 31257: Added specification of endorsed dirs if forking. Note that this is fairly useless for now in 5.5 since it uses JDT and not javac by default. (yoavs)
docs Document new Jasper defaults, and update the production configuration. (remm)
fix Copied XML encoding detection logic into JASPER, so we're no longer dependent on Xerces. (luehe)
