Question

I’ve downloaded the Saxon jar from this site , and I’m trying to activate this jar file in Eclipse , however it doesn’t work . I’ve put it in the plugins library and reopen Eclipse .
This still doesn’t help much .

I have a lot of imports like :

package net.sf.saxon.sxpath;
import net.sf.saxon.Configuration;
import net.sf.saxon.event.Builder;
import net.sf.saxon.event.Stripper;
import net.sf.saxon.expr.Expression;
import net.sf.saxon.expr.ExpressionTool;
import net.sf.saxon.instruct.SlotManager;
import net.sf.saxon.om.AllElementStripper;
import net.sf.saxon.om.NamePool;
import net.sf.saxon.om.NamespaceResolver;
import net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo;
import net.sf.saxon.trans.IndependentContext;
import net.sf.saxon.trans.XPathException;
import net.sf.saxon.type.Type;

and from what I’ve looked over the web , those imports demand the saxon.jar . Kindly explain how can I attach this jar .

Thank you

Copy the jar you need inside your project (e.g. with drag-and-drop), so it shows up inside Eclipse.

Then right click it and add it to the build-path.

You can now use it inside your project.
