Workflow:
	User runs logic to create xslt file, its serialized.
	Some time later the User re-selects the xslt file to be

Why do you want to

  mapping -> Java code -> XSLT stylesheet -> Java code -> mapping'

When you could do

  mapping -> Java code -> XSLT stylesheet
  mapping -> Java code' -> mapping'

I.e. use the original data you have to generate the stylesheets to also
generate the data you'd get from reverse engineering?
