Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

"The concept known as the law of the instrument, Maslow's hammer, or a golden hammer is an over-reliance on a familiar tool ..." WikiPedia

Hi Folks,

Many developers use Java to process XML documents. 

Why?

Are there things missing in XSLT which force them to use Java? What things?
