jre issue with jEdit, DocBook and DocBook xsl stylesheets

    Hi,

    I am transforming a large 4.4 DocBook file into an XSL-Fo file. I use
    an extensive customization layer and DocBook xsl stylesheets 1.69.1,
    which also turns on the RenderX extensions. To perform the
    transformation, I am using jEdit 4.2 with the xml and xslt processor
    plugins. I start jEdit in a jre with parameters -Xms512M -Xmx1024M.

    My problem stems from the following: when I perform the transformation
    using jre1.5.0_20, it works well; however when using jre6, it fails and
    the jEdit activity log has the following set of error messages that are
    repeated many times.

    mApplyTemplates.java:425)

    formerImpl.java:2318)
    [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: at
    org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemIf.execute(ElemIf.java:203)

    I experience the same behavior at home with my own personal computer. I
    also experience the same behavior when I upgraded jEdit and its plugins
    to the latest version.

    My problem is that my work computer's operating system must be changed
    from XP to Vista and only the jre6 java environment will be supported,
    thus taking away my ability to perform this transformation. Is there a
    way to make this transformation work?
