Exactly. It's not that Nic and I don't know what to do every time we have to fix this. It's just that all those ten minutes reconfiguring everything adds up. If we could get away with doing it once and forget about it, then we'd be in much better shape. libxslt is sometimes (not always) a pain to set up, but I've never had to set it up more than once per system. Saxon needs to be set up once per project, at least; often more.


Again, not Dr. Kay's fault. It's just a common flaw of Java programs in general.
