Description gliesian 2010-06-03 19:14:41 UTC 
NetBeans Help documentation (Section: Performing an XSL Transformation) states "The IDE uses the Apache XALAN 2.3.1 XSL processor."

The latest Xalan-Java version is 2.7.1 (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/).

Please consider using this latest version.

Note: Xalan-Java 2.3.1 was released 09-13-2007.

Thanks.

???

I'm looking at the project and source code and I can't find the xalan JAR files or calls to the API.

I do find JAXP code: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/file/1a5274a9e8fe/xsl/src/org/netbeans/modules/xsl/transform/TransformPerformer.java.

The code is similar to this example: http://www.roseindia.net/xml/XMLwithXSLT.shtml.

Am I mistaken or does NetBeans use JAXP for XSLT transformations and not Xalan... 

...if so Xalan JARS obviously can't be updated AND the documentation that I previously sited is wrong.

Please advise as this Issue should probably be closed.

Thanks.

Looks like NetBeans uses the JAXP API which 'may be using' the Xalan source code as its default base as its reference implementation (RI).
