I am using Galileo with WTP for editing xml, xslt and applying xslt transformations. Recently I had a need to use xslt 2.0 so obtained Saxon - in particular, from some other discussions individuals reported success with Saxon-b which I downloaded from http://saxon.sourceforge.net/.

I've installed the Saxon-B processor with Windows->Preferences->XML->XSL->Java Processors - adding a processor that points to the saxon9.jar file and then set up the run configuration for my transformation to use this processor. I get an error message that says:

Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl not found

Of course this is not found because in the saxon9.jar the factory impl is in net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl.

Looking at the launch configuration file that is created I see the following line:

<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.wst.xsl.jaxp.launching.ATTR_TRANSFORMER_FACTORY " value="com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>

So where is eclipse getting that value? I've dug through the saxon9.jar file and in the META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory find the value

net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl

So why is eclipse still using the com.icl.saxon value and where the heck does it come from?

BTW, if I change the launch.xml file to read

<stringAttribute key="org.eclipse.wst.xsl.jaxp.launching.ATTR_TRANSFORMER_FACTORY " value="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>

and restart eclipse then everything runs fine. Of course, any time I change the launch config in eclipse the bad value is written again.
