For some time I have been wondering if you could use Saxon with Ant. Well you can, and setting it up is pretty easy. I wrote a quick howto on this here: Setting up Saxon and XSLT 2.0 on Ant

Why in the world there are no example of this anywhere (at least anywhere I could find on Google) is beyond me.

If you do a lot of XSLT automation testing with Ant like me, it really nice to be able easily swap in Saxon and Xalan. I look forward to using this in some of my personal projects.
