You could setup a two pass processing (preferred), firts pass merginig, second pass sorting, or refer to the data directly. The latter is likely expensive.
The first difficuilty is, that I want only those release-nodes

You probably need a composite key.
<xsl:key name="tool-version" match="tool" use="concat(@name,'#',release/@name)"/> <!-- convenience variable holding second.xml --> <xsl:variable name="tool-def" select="document('second.xml')"/>
<xsl:template match="project"> ... <xsl:for-each select="tool"> <!-- build the key of the tool used --> <xsl:variable name="key" select="concat(@name,'#',@version)"/> <!-- change context for key lookup --> <xsl:for-each select="$tool-def"> <xsl:apply-templates select="key('tool-version',$key)"/> </xsl:for-each> ... </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template>
Define appropriate templetes to copy the stuff you need from the tool detail definition data.
Building the two pass approach can be done using an intermediate file if you are using the XSLT processor from the command line, or using the first pass transformer as SAXFilter and pipe the result to the second. This requires two style sheets, of course, one for merging and the second for sorting. In order to have one style sheet only you can store the result of the merge in a variable and use exsl:node-set() to convert it into a sortable node set:
<xsl:template match="project"> <xsl:variable name="merge-result"> <xsl:for-each select="tool"> ... </xsl:variable> <xsl:for-each select="exxl:node-set($merge-result)"> <xsl:sort select="@category"> <xsl:sort select="@name"> ... produce your HTML here... </xsl:for-each>
