Some while ago Berin reported that Ant's <junitreport> task wouldn't work with JDK 1.5's Xalan.

With the release of the second JDK 1.5 beta I thought I'd look into it again. The thing I came up with is that JDK 1.5 doesn't ship with Xalan at all. This may be old news to some, but it was completely new to me.

There are other changes in the XML area that people want to be aware of.

The main problem here is that some of the stylesheets used by Ant's <junitreport> task use Xalan's redirect extensions and thus really require Xalan and won't work with XSLTC. If any XSLT guru - well, it probably doesn't even take a guru, just somebody with more knowledge than me - out there feels like providing XSLTC-ready stylesheets, they'd be greatly appreciated. The original XSLT files are here and here.

Update: Anthony W. Juckel points me to XSLTC's redirect extension which suggests that using a different namespace URI should make the stylesheets work for both Xalan 2 and XSLTC. I'll give it a try.
