DocBook transformation with Eclipse
anatoly techtonik
I wonder how did you get default <xslt> transformation work with
DocBook for your tutorial at http://www.vogella.de/articles/DocBook/article.html
? I stripped examples to a bare minimum, but still no luck. The error
messages I am getting:

FYI: I have reproduced the error and I'm currently trying to solve it.

I believe I found the error. I try to update the article tonight. I
post to this group once the description is updated in
http://www.vogella.de/articles/DocBook/article.html

tutorial is now updated. http://www.vogella.de/articles/DocBook/article.html
Please let me know if it works now for you.

The solution with external XSLT processor worked for me before. With
external tool it is not really "DocBook with Eclipse". =) I wondered
how to avoid downloading Xalan, because in my Eclipse Java EE IDE for
Web Developers it is already present as
plugins/org.apache.xalan_2.7.1.v200905122109.jar
BTW, how did you manage to compile your examples in the first time?
As for article, FO transformation requires classpath adjustments too.
I use ANT macros to avoid repeating the same <xslt... /> attributes
such as classpath.
<macrodef name="xslt-me">
<attribute name="in"/>
<attribute name="out"/>
<attribute name="style"/>
<sequential>
<xslt in="@{in}" out="@{out}" style="@{style}">
<xmlcatalog refid="DTDs"/>
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${xslt-classpath}"/>
<pathelement path="${xslt-highlight}"/>
</classpath>
</xslt>
</sequential>
</macrodef>
<xslt-me in='hrc-ref.docbook-merged' out='hrc-ref.fo'
style='fo-hrc-ref-temporary.xsl'/>
xslt-classpath and xslt-highlight are read from external properties
file. xslt-highlight is path to highlight engine .jar which is said to
be coloring programlistings for DocBook, but so far I couldn't manage
to make it work. If you can start it - it will be nice addition for
your articles that seem to be generated from DocBook. =)

you should also be able too include
org.apache.xalan_2.7.1.v200905122109.jar into your classpath and it
should work.
> BTW, how did you manage to compile your examples in the first time?
I don't know; at some point it seem to stop working and I had to
switch to xalan.
Thanks for the FO pointer; I need to update the section. I'm currently
not using PDF generation thats why I was to lasy to update this part.
;-)
If you make this syntax highlighting work (for HTML output), please
let me know. This is a feature request for vogella.de almost from the
start but I have not been able to make this work.

Unfortunately it complains:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/xml/serializer/ExtendedContentHandler
Seems like it needs a couple of additional files. In any case I would
like to avoid including version-specific files into build.xml, because
their version and placement varies for everyone. The only acceptable
solution could be if the classpath is expressed in installation
neutral way. To my regret even ${eclipse.home} doesn't work in all
cases.

If you don't mind against command line utilities - there is
http://colorer.sourceforge.net/ that can be used with some scripting
in the build post-processing step.

I guess I stick then with the downloaded xalan processor.
http://colorer.sourceforge.net/ looks cool but I believe this would
require manual steps and I really need to integrate this into the Ant
build script.
