Hi Andrew,

thanks for your comment.

Actually, it was on purpose as I was under the impression, Jing uses Saxon6
only.

Unfortunately, it isn't really clear what Jing depends on. There is no clear
list of dependencies in the readme.txt. However, after some research,  Jing
brings all its dependencies in the lib directory. It includes both saxon6 _and_
saxon9.

According to issue27[1], James Clark (the main developer of Jing) states in
comment 4:

  "Fixed in r2194. Jing now tries for XSLT implementations in the order: 
   new Saxon (net.sf.saxon), old Saxon (com.icl.saxon), Xalan,
   JAXP-provided (typically XSLTC)."

I tried it with saxon6, saxon9, and both. All three worked.

As Jing is merely a RNG validator and uses XSLT only for Schematron it is happy
as long as there is an xslt processor, regardless of its version. So I don't
think this is a critical issue.


I will add saxon9 to the list of BASE_JARS, so it doesn't matter which XSLT
processor is installed. Does that fit your needs?
