Did you try looking at the xercesImpl.jar MANIFEST.MF?  It says...

Created-By: 1.3.1 (IBM Corporation)

Not sure about the rest below.  However, I don't think the JDK used to compile
the code should have much (any?) effect on performance at runtime.  I suppose
newer compilers might optimize the bytecode a little better.  In any case,
Xerces is compiled with a lowest-common-denominator JDK so that (I presume. 
Note I'm not a Xerces project team member, so this is my own $0.02)...

1. It can run in the earlier JDK's as well as the newer ones.  Setting the
"target" and "source" compile options are another way to do this, but that
doesn't solve #2...
2. Newer API's aren't accidentally introduced.
