using Saxon EE

[lionelmoi]

Hi !

Thanks a lot for this plugin, this is great work !

I would like to use my own Saxon EE version (some XSLT 3.0 features like Text Value Templates do not seem to work with the plugin).

How may I go about doing this ?

Thanks for the interest, I'm happy if you find the plugin useful!

The plugin will use the first version Saxon it finds in your classpath, so I think the easiest way to do it is to add this to the top of your build.gradle:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        // Modify the path to point to your Saxon-EE JAR file.
        classpath files('/opt/saxon/saxon9ee.jar')
    }
}

That should do it. If it doesn't work, please let me know and I'll look into it.

Oh, if you use the Gradle Daemon, you might need to run gradle --stop once after that for the changes to take effect.

Also, if you use a Saxon configuration file, make sure the @edition attribute in it says EE:

<configuration xmlns="http://saxon.sf.net/ns/configuration" edition="EE">
  <xslt
     version="3.0"
     >
  </xslt>

  ...

</configuration>

Otherwise you won't be able to use any of the EE features.

Please let me know whether that works for you.

I hope you got it to work. I'll close this issue for now, but please feel free to ask further questions if anything comes up.
