I know three methods to process an XML document with an XSL template

didn't get my head around installing them (and modifying the java 
classpath and all that), so I used the third option, which is using 
any of those processors as they conveniently come integrated in the 
oXygen editor, so I just select the XML, the XSL and the processor, 
click Run and wait.



For some reasons, it would be convenient for me to start using 
another method which doesn't resort to third-party applications. So, 
the question is: Is there any other way apart from the ones that I 
mentioned and which is easy to install and use for a fool like me? 
Ideally it would be usable on the command line (Window's or Cygwin).

You don't need to get your "head around installing them (and 
modifying the java classpath and all that)" to run Saxon ... all you 
need is this:



 For Saxon 6.5.5:



  java -jar saxon.jar -o result data.xml stylesheet.xsl



 For Saxon 9.0.1.5J:



  java -jar saxon9.jar -o result data.xml stylesheet.xsl



If the JAR file isn't in the same directory, use a full path name.



No need to play with the class path at all.



I hope this helps.
