I'm particularly fond of XML Spy. It's an excellent tool for developing XML Schema and instance documents, and provides some convenient support for text-based xml and xsl editing (but "grid mode" takes some getting used to). Once it's set up with your choice of XSL processor, it performs one-touch xsl transformation and presentation within the IDE. So, the development cycle is code-test-adjust-test, all within the same IDE. Pretty much how you'd expect an IDE to work. My one gripe is that it's complicated to get XML Spy to play well with java-based xsl transformers under windows, especially when you're operating on multiple drives. Eventually, we'll see more WYSIWYG editors (like xslComposer from Whitehill), and we won't be asking for IDEs but rather for XSL-generating document editors.

Hi, Im evaluating a range of xsl development environments. I currently use a combination of VIM an XT. Im considering products including cooktop, xmlspy, whitehill xsl composer, activestate komodo and emacs plugins. Any opinions on these or other XSL IDE's preferably with debugging features? Also can anyone point me to an MSXML 3.0 command line utility that allows me to run xsl and xml using msxml without having to use a third party IDE environment? thanks, :) Ben XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
