Apologies. Hi Lance, I assume you are using jpackage (otherwise you would not be using yum to update Java packages). Though your query is short, the answer is a little complicated: it kind of depends on what you are using the XSL processor for. I am no XML expert, but as I understand it, they should be interchangeable. Practically, however, there are differences. For example, I've recently run into some problems generating PDFs using xalan (I'm using DITA). The good news is, both Xalan and Saxon should be able to coexist on your system peacefully (just be sure to change your CLASSPATH every time you switch between the two). HTH pascal chong
