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

In that case, you can try to tweak the Calabash engine configuration to 
use your version of Saxon.
First, you may want to read this:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/pipermail/oxygen-user/2013-March/004558.html
So, you can attempt this by duplicating the engine folder 
(Oxygen\lib\xproc\calabash) first and customizing the duplicate (make 
sure the name is different) in engine.xml.

Copy your new Saxon jars to Oxygen\lib\xproc\<calabash_folder>\lib and 
edit the 'engine.xml' file found a level lower (in 
Oxygen\lib\xproc\<calabash_folder>). In 'engine.xml' add a new library 
entry (before the others) for your Saxon jar:
<library name="lib/saxon9ee.jar"/>

Not sure if the Saxon EE license will hold with this change. You may 
have to also adjust the 'saxon.config' file and specify @edition="HE".

When you configure an XProc transformation, make sure you select your 
duplicated/customized engine in the "Processor" combo box.

Regards,
Adrian
