Use XSLT 2.0 functions in Eclipse WTP Helios

For a simple xml file (onega.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<numbers>
  <val>
  <num>18</num>
  <num>1</num>
  <num>40</num>
  </val>
</numbers>

I am using the following xslt file (onega.xsl) to get the sum of all "num" elements

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"
    xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <xsl:template match="/numbers">
        <sum>
            <xsl:value-of select="fn:sum(val/num[number(.)=number(.)])" />
        </sum>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

 

Open onega.xsl and onega.xml in Eclipse WTP 3.6.2 (helios), activate onega.xsl, select menu "Run" -> "Run as" -> "XSL Transformation"

 

select "Window" -> "Preferences" -> XML -> XSL -> Java Processors, there are two installed java XSLT processors:

    JRE Instance Default

    Xalan 2.7.1

 

"JRE Instance Default" is checked by default, and give me the following error:

Switch to "Xalan 2.7.1", I still get the following error

solution: download saxonhe9-3-0-4j.zip , extract saxon9he.jar and add this jar file to  "Window" -> "Preferences" -> XML -> XSL -> Java Processors -> "Installed Java XSLT Processors", with name "saxon", Type "Saxon (XSLT 2.0)". Select saxon and now my xsl file works properly.
