Yes, my vote as well. In fact, this is pretty much
required for 
this Saxon case. There's some very fine lines in Eclipse
IP policy,
and our committer responsibilities to uphold it, and
I'd rather not get near 
those fine lines, and just stay clear of Saxon. We
can discuss more as 
required, but doesn't sound to me like it's required.

Well, this looks like a feature request then.   As it shouldn't be
a 
requirement to use extension points to add a xslt processor.   They
may 
not be able to get debugging ability but a user should be able to add 
their own processor.   It might require rethinking the way the launching
configuration is handled a bit to do it.

Either that or they have to do it in the Launch External programs, which
can be done, but isn't as nice a way to do it.

Regardless, I'll let the other committers and wtp people voice their 
opinion on this, but my vote is that we should only include 
functionality that we can fully support.   Otherwise it should reside
as 
it's own plugin out side the project.

Believe me I would love to have Saxon and XSLT 2.0 integrated debugging
support, as that is my main XSLT processor.   However, as has been
previously stated it won't pass the IP process.

XSLT 2.0 editing support is something enitrely different as we can 
provide that as it shouldn't rely on an xslt 2.0 parser/compiler for 
editing.  Validation might be another story.
