Hello, Is that the only error message? [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Collation http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation has not been defined I created a jar file based on your CzechCollation class and I get the above error and the following error: [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Failed to instantiate class CzechCollation - missing chars (=,;<&): < Z,z <Ž, That means Saxon 9B loads the class CzechCollation but it is not a correct implementation of a collation because some characters are missing. When the class CzechCollation cannot be loaded you get a different error: [Saxon-B 9.0.0.6] Failed to load CzechCollation - CzechCollation For easy testing of your collation class in Oxygen you should set the directory where CzechCollation.class is located or a jar file containing CzechCollation.class as an extension of the transformation scenario (the Extensions button of the dialog for editing a scenario): http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/defining-new-transformation-scenario.... This avoids restarting Oxygen for each modification and recompilation of the class CzechCollation and it does not depend on the location of the class file/jar file (it does not have to be in the directory [Oxygen-install-dir]/lib). If the transformation error is "Failed to load CzechCollation" then the class CzechCollation could not be loaded because it was not set correctly as an extension of the transformation scenario. If the error is "Failed to instantiate class CzechCollation - missing chars ..." then the class was loaded but it is not a correct implementation of a collation so you need to modify and recompile it.

I have read in the archive that to add my own collator to Oxygen, I must drop the jar file in the oxygen lib folder. I have done this, and still get the same error message:

The line from my XSLT file is: <xsl:sort select="Author" collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=CzechCollation"/>
The jar tf command tell me the jar file contains the following manifest (I know very little about java): META-INF META-INF/MANIFEST.MF CzechCollation.class
However, when I click on the jar , I get the error message: "failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from ..." I assume this happens because the jar does not contain an application. Anyway, The CzechCollation.java file follows (Substantially shortened). Thanks, Mark
