Why so difficult? If on Windows, you can use old MSDOS batch, and/or 
JScript. The following three lines do what he wants. It is equally easy 
in Java, of course, but this is easier to maintain. And when you have a 
java class, you still need a batch file to call it...

echo %1| findstr /E /C:.xslt >nul

if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto XMLFIRST
goto XMLSECOND
