Since v7.1 Saxon is not bound to Aelfred xml parser, and doesn't ship with it, Saxon will use by default JVM parser if Aelfred is not on the classpath...I am running v7.8 saxon with v1.6.0 Ant with no probs, so not so sure that ContextClassLoader is the issue. M. Kay most recent code is usually very stable, at least near production quality and I have been using 7.1 and up with no probs with respect to XSLT...though there are issues with XSLT 2.0 and the nascent XQUERY implementation. What version of Saxon are you using ?
