Yes, this is possible. See http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon6.5.4/extensions.html#systemid The author of Saxon, Michael Kay, says: "The source code of these methods, which in most cases is extremely simple, can be used as an example for writing other user extension functions. It is found in class com.icl.saxon.functions.Extensions". Once you have created a jar containing you extension, simply copy it in any of the directories/sub-directories scanned by XXE during its startup. For example, XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/my_saxon_extensions/. XXE_user_preferences_dir is: * $HOME/.xxe/ on Unix, * %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLeditor\ on Windows 2000/XP, * %SystemDrive%\winnt\Profiles\%USERNAME%\Application Data\XMLmind\XMLeditor\ on Windows NT. --- PS: XXE V3.0 currently uses Saxon 6.5.3. V3.0 Patch1 (or V3.1) will use Saxon 6.5.4 but this should not be a problem.
