That's nice. I'm writing a pipeline processor that makes heavy
use of Saxon.
A pipeline processor doesn't seem quite right, because, taking
the project definition to Ant example, it seems like a hook
could be defined as an extra mode to run through.
<project name="${project-definition/name}" default="default">
for each mode in (javac, javac, javacc, antlr, jython, jar, dist)
<xsl:apply-templates select="project-definition" mode="$mode"/>
</project>
That's pseudo code.
Maybe a good method is to have the user select their modes by
definining a style sheet?
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:import href="xslt/taskdef/javac.xslt"/>
<xsl:import href="xslt/taskdef/junit.xslt"/>
<xsl:import href="xslt/taskdef/javacc.xslt"/>
<xsl:import href="xslt/taskdef/antlr.xslt"/>
<xsl:import href="xslt/taskdef/jython.xslt"/>
<xsl:template match="project-definition">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="taskdef.javac"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="taskdef.junit"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="taskdef.jython"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="taskdef.antlr"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="taskdef.jython"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Framework might have been too strong a word. I guess, if I have
Ant, I have a pipeline, though not as fancy as Oberon.
And I suppose I could add a task definition section to the
project file, and use that to generate the above template file.
