Hi,

Just for fun, using my environment developement, I have :

1) replaced the file xalan-2.7.0.jar located in=20
...\workspace\eXist-1.0\lib\endorsed by saxon8.jar

2) removed xalan-2.7.0.jar from Eclipse's classpath

3) added saxon8.jar to Eclipse's classpath

4) launched the interactive client=20
(...\\workspace\eXist-1.0\src\org\exist\client\InteractiveClient.java)=20
after having *ignored* the compilation errors (see below).

5) tested the following XQuery  :

let $transform :=3D
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=3D"http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"=20
version=3D"1.0">
   <xsl:template match=3D"/dummy">
     <xsl:value-of select=3D"system-property('xsl:vendor-url')"/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
return transform:transform(<dummy/>, $transform, ())

6) watched this very interesting result ;-) :
http://www.saxonica.com/

Now, when I revert everything back, I get this less interesting result  :
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j

For whom it may concern, it looks like we have (unwanted ?) dependencies=20
with the Xalan package in :

org.exist.util.FastStringBuffer
org.exist.validation.test.ApacheXmlComponentsTest
org.exist.xmldb.test.DTMHandleTest
org.exist.xmldb.test.TreeLevelOrderTest

Cheers,
