I very much like Sorins and Tommy's idea, as i know my transformation scenarios to work but have to spend time to develop ant build file and making sure the 2 are in sync. I oxygen could (to some degree) help this process the would be highly appreciated and in our organization seen as a plus. its one thing to click a scenario together, its a whole different ball game to write one from scratch. just my 2 cents bram On 12 May 2009, at 23:03, Syd Bauman wrote:

I don't quite follow the details of your reason for wanting to do this, and as we've just learned from Sorin, you can't actually run a transformation scenario from the command line. That said, I run transformations (including XInclude) from the command line, a bash script, or occasionally a make file almost every day. (Mostly on Mac OS X.)
E.g.:
$ xmllint --xinclude --noent ingredients.xml | xsltproc bake.xslt -
/tmp/bread.xml
OR, equivalently $ xsltproc --xinclude bake.xslt ingredients.xml -o /tmp/bread.xml
OR, almost equivalently, for XSLT2 $ saxon -xi:on -xsl:bake.xslt -s:ingredients.xml -o:/tmp/bread.xml
Although in truth, I often have to operate on multiple files at once (whitespace added for readability):
$ for f in ingredients/*.xml ; do echo "---------$f:" ; xsltproc --xinclude bake.xslt $f > /tmp/baked/$f ; done
OR, for XSLT2 $ saxon -xi:on -xsl:bake.xslt -s:ingredients/ -o/tmp/baked/
