I see. However, i don't think the codehaus plugin is close enough nor would be usefull to update it with my needs. This is a very specific plugin and should not be used as a general purpose XSL translator. Anyways, in case you ever get the time to take a look: 1. the plugin's pom.xml: http://testng-xslt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pom.xml 2. the actual report Mojo: http://testng-xslt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/main/java/org/testng/xslt/mavenplugin/TestNgXsltMojo.java (You can ignore the boiler plate. The problem is around the commented lines above the TODO - the project that is used to test the plugin fails with " javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError: Provider net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl not found" when uncommenting them) 3. the pom.xml of the project that I use to test the plugin: http://testng-xslt.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/test/maven/pom.xml
There are workarounds that I could implement. However, i need to know if I am missing something as this seems to be a classloader issue, as far as I can tell. I also tried to manually set the classloader on the current thread with the one of net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl and curiously it worked, so my guess is that the search is performed in the plugin's classloader and not in the top-level classloader.
