Re: [xsl] XSLT in JDK1.5 from the command line

Rob,

Thanks for the thoughts.

Interestingly, this Java installation (a clean installation of JDK1.5) 
doesn't have an endorsed directory under jre/lib at all.

Which I suppose is likely to be related to the problem.

Not on this system (the 1.4.2 was ripped out). I'm doing fine on JDK 1.4 
elsewhere, without any classpath TMK (leaving aside mysteries of the registry).

I may end up using a latest Xalan or a Saxon, but am trying to see how 
little distribution overhead I can manage. The processes I need to support 
will run fine even on an older Xalan (though not a very old one; there are 
a couple of bug fixes I do need), so convenience of distribution is a 
luxury I can afford -- if by requiring a JDK1.5 I can avoid distributing a 
.jar at all, that's even thinkable in this situation. (Bizarre though that 
may sound.)

But I guess the JDK1.5 architecture simply doesn't allow me to do this.

Cheers,
Wendell
