Please bear with me on this. It has got nothing to do with the Saxon debugger - I have deleted this code from CVS.
The Saxon plugin contributes the Saxon processor _type_. NOT the Saxon processor itself. The user adds this himself via the preferences.
Please, just try out the code a) with the Saxon plugin installed and b) without it. Try adding processor instances via the preferences. Add a Xalan one, and a Saxon one. I think after playing with it for a while you will understand what I am trying to say (email is so frustrating sometimes!).

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.
