As the vast majority of Ant Developers came from C++ backgrounds (usually writing JNI code...) be assured each implemented taskdef goes thru a rigorous cycle of: 1)Does Ant Task Work on all JDKs? 2)Does Ant Task work with all Windows platforms? 3)Does Ant Task work on all variations of Unix? 4)Are there Sufficient Positive testcases coded and executed with satisfactory results (will work)? 5)Are there Sufficient negative testcases coded and executed with satisfactory results (wont work)? 6)The last step..usually done as last step at midnite after a 12 hour day..documentation Unless there is a JNI Library (which would have to be located on path in order for the Java xslt task to execute) all other xslt Java classes/jars would need to be located on $CLASSPATH (I myself am currently working on the flex component compiler compc and found some things that were undoc'ed!) Will file a JIRA correcting $PATH to $CLASSPATH Thanks for keeping us on our toes!
