[oXygen-user] Using a different (minor) version of Saxon with oXygen?

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Adrian Buza)]

Hello,

Because of the tight integration (validation, debugging, etc), you 
cannot upgrade the version of Saxon 9 that comes bundled with Oxygen.

However, you can use a different version of Saxon in Oxygen as a custom 
(command line) XSLT or XQuery engine for transformations (NOT for 
debugging), though you will need a separate Saxon license if you need to 
use Saxon PE or EE. The license file should be placed in the same folder 
as the Saxon .jar.

You can configure this in Options -> Preferences , XML -> XSLT-FO-XQuery 
-> Custom Engines. Press New, select engine type: XSLT or XQuery and 
give it a proper name. e.g. "Saxon XSLT 9.6" or "Saxon XQuery 9.6".
In the command line of the custom engine use:
For XSLT:
"${system(java.home)}/bin/java" -cp "path/to/saxon/lib/saxon9ee.jar" 
net.sf.saxon.Transform "-s:${xml}" "-o:${out}" "${xsl}"
For XQuery:
"${system(java.home)}/bin/java" -cp "path/to/saxon/lib/saxon9ee.jar" 
net.sf.saxon.Query "-s:${xml}" "-o:${out}" "${xsl}"
(do not omit the quotes)

You can then pick this newly defined engine from the Transformer combo 
when configuring a transformation scenario: Document -> Transformation 
-> Configure Transformation Scenario, New/Edit.

Regards,
Adrian
