I have had problems running transformations with the Sun JDK release 
1.4.1_01, which I think also comes with older versions of Xerces & Xalan. 
Even if not older versions, the 
'{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}content-handler' property is missing from the 
following files in rt.jar:
org/apache/xalan/templates/output_xml.properties
org/apache/xalan/templates/output_text.properties
org/apache/xalan/templates/output_html.properties

If I have the Xerces & Xalan jars in .jedit/jars and set java.endorsed.dirs 
to .jedit/jars, then I get a series of class cast exceptions when attempting 
to run a transformation. The details of which are reported in the "Problem 
2" section of the following bug report:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=674409&group_id=588&atid=100588

It was only through experimentation that I found that transformations would 
work if the Xerces & Xalan jars were *moved* into a separate directory, and 
java.endorsed.dirs set to that directory. This fix only works if I delete 
the Xerces & Xalan jars from the .jedit/jars directory, else I get the same 
class cast exceptions as above.

Any ideas for a plugin-manager-based fix?
