Hello Hussein, Thank you for your swift response, that's just what I needed. It now works as I expect.
In this document http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/xxetool/xxetool.pdf there is a note that "The xxetool command-line tool will not run on a headless server". What does that mean in practice? If I can run it via a command line, I'd expect to be able to create (eg) a jenkins build running on a VM to create my documentation.
