What about Xslt? Is it still broken?

After more investigation, I believe that Xslt is indeed broken, and it's probably the exact same issue that afflicted Junit, as described in bug #38799 [1]. However, I should also point out I was finally able to get Saxon to work with the Xslt task...sort of.

I discovered that, in addition to supplying the Saxon JAR on the classpath, I need to specify a factory. In other words, the build file in my test case should look like this:

<xslt in="in.xml" out="out.xml" style="test.xsl">
    <classpath location="saxon-b-8.8.jar"/>
    <factory name="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
</xslt>

This change causes Ant to use Saxon, but it can't find TransformerFactoryImpl, even though it's in the JAR specified in the <classpath> element. However, if I specify the exact same JAR on the command line using the -lib parameter, it works!

This sounds very much like bug #38799. I will try to see if the solution there is also applicable to Xslt.

I get Ant to work with Saxon with tasks similar to this one:

<xslt in="in.xml" out="out.xml" style="style.xsl">
 <classpath location="path-to-saxon8.jar" />
</xslt>
