[wtp-incubator-dev] XSL Launching questions

[David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looking at the current code that is checked into the Incubator, in 
particular the org.eclipse.wst.xsl.launching plugin, a couple of questions:

1. The transformation pipeline just seems to be a list of stylesheets to 
run against the source XML files.   This doesn't cover the more typical 
use case of One stylesheet, creating output that the next stylesheet in 
the pipeline will use.    The transformation pipeline should be 
configurable so that different XML inputs may be used for each step in 
the pipeline.

2. Is there a dependency on any portion of the JDT for creating the 
launch configurations?  Ideally we shouldn't have a dependency with JDT 
at all.  This way if an adopter wanted to build just a pure XML IDE, 
they wouldn't need to include the JDT plugins just to use the XSLT 
options.   This may require rewriting some functionality that was in JDT 
or requesting that they make the functionality available in the platform.
