so I found out that with XMLSpy Home Edition its not possible to use Xalan

Can anyone suggest another XSL Tool (free) which uses Xalan?
I'd like to answer this question, but also to reiterate it, asking on my
own behalf -- since it's a bit complicated.
You can download and run Xalan from the command line -- see
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/commandline.html.
However, you will also find (as you dig into their documentation) that if
you do this naively, you might not get quite the results you expected. As
documented in http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html, if you are running
JDK 1.3 or 1.4, you may have "issues". In particular, JDK 1.4 comes with a
copy of Xalan of its own -- an older version than the one you will download
-- which it will use in preference to yours, unless you take extra measures.
Hence, the complicatedness.
So -- for the Java and Xalan experts reading -- Sun has now released J2SE
version 5.0, whose JDK supercedes (I assume) the JDK 1.4.2 (the most recent
version before it). How will this change things?
If I'm not a Java programmer, but I run Java routines (either to test
things in Xalan or for a multitude of other purposes), would it be a good
idea for me to ungrade from 1.4.2 to 5.0?
How will this change the issues relating to Xalan in Java?
Cheers,
Wendell
