EchoXSL is a fork of Apache Xalan, an XSLT processor.

Beware that this software was only maintained for compatibility purposes. Java has built-in XSLT support, and Saxonica has a more complete XSL and XPath implementation (with an open source subset called Saxon HE).

You should only look at this project if you are willing to replace Apache Xalan with something API-compatible.

This project is no longer used by EchoSVG and was archived

To build EchoXSL you should have the following software installed:

• The Git version control system is required to obtain the sources. Any recent version should suffice.

• Java 8 or later. You can install it from your favourite package manager or by downloading from Adoptium.

Note: the resulting jar packages can be run with Java 7 or later.

Execute the build script with gradlew build to build. For example:

git clone https://github.com/css4j/echoxsl.git
cd echoxsl
./gradlew build

or just gradlew build (without the ./) on a Windows command prompt.

Look under the build directory for the build outputs.

IMPORTANT: The packages under the org.apache hierarchy exclusively contain code coming from ASF (Apache) source repositories, however this is not an ASF project.

Use:

• gradlew build publishToMavenLocal to install in your local Maven repository.

• gradlew publish to deploy to a (generally remote) Maven repository.

If you plan to deploy to a repository, please configure the mavenReleaseRepoUrl and/or mavenSnapshotRepoUrl properties (for example in GRADLE_USER_HOME/gradle.properties or in the command line). Otherwise, Gradle shall create a build/repository subdirectory and deploy there.

Properties mavenRepoUsername and mavenRepoPassword can also be set (generally from the command line).

If you would rather look directly at the Gradle publish configurations, please read the publishing.repositories.maven block of echoxsl.java-conventions.gradle.

Modern IDEs are able to import Gradle projects and let it manage the dependencies. In IntelliJ IDEA you can just open the root directory and the Gradle project is opened, while in the Eclipse IDE you need to import it explicitly:

File > Import... > Gradle > Existing Gradle Project

Eclipse shall ask you if you want to use a wrapper or its own instance of Gradle, select the "wrapper" choice.

In Eclipse, it is advisable to run a build with ./gradlew build before importing the project.
