I see. If you really need Saxon - because of XPath or XSLT 2.0 or just because the XSLT implementation shipping as part of the JRE sucks - you'd have to fiddle with the endorsed library stuff on top of that. In the end it may be easier to just have RAT create XML. > (http://ci.apache.org/projects/rat-master-summary.html) Is there any way to have that page gather input from sources other than buildbot? Say I wanted to have RAT reports on a bunch of code bases but don't need a full buildbot configuration because I already have CI builds in place (or don't care). >>> How can I still use method two but get an xml output file like the -x >>> option in method one gives? >> This is now possible with trunk if you use format="xml" on the task. >> BTW, it is probably better to use the task's reportfile attribute >> rather than redirecting Ant's output. > This is fantastic, thank you, I'll try it all out today! Let me know how things work out. Stefan
