Re:  Re: [saxon] How to make a simple running example
As Mike said, this area is definitely 'work in progress'. In particular this problem arises from inter-package dependencies conflicting with the compiling order of the stylesheet/packages presented in the current 9.6.

For the moment, depending upon your situation, one of the following actions may help:

1. Ensure that *every* package is required, i.e. the stylesheet can be compiled only if every one of the supplied packages will be used. (If you're trying using different package-version alternates, only the first will be used and any subsequent ones will be compiled as 'separate stylesheets' and may cause this NPE)

2. Try putting the principal stylesheet as the *last* in the semi-colon separated list. Currently it will then be compiled last when essentially every other package has already been compiled into the library.

Personally I'd try the second option as it's the easiest. As I said, we're looking into this area, but the implementation is still experimental.
