The xslt 1.0 processor, Saxon. From Sourceforge

Apache ant. This is the build tool described here. Tested with version 1.7.0 and a single extension (see below)

The ant FTP task requires an extension. This is Apache Commons Net extension, version 1.4.1 is available for download. I extracted the file commons-net-1.4.1.jar from the zip file and moved it to the ant/lib directory, from which ant seems to access it quite happily.

Apache Commons Resolver, version 1.3.0. Download the zip file and extract resolver.jar and put it somewhere where you can find it again!

Saxon XSLT 1.0 engine. Download from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/saxon/saxon6-5-5.zip and save the file saxon.jar (Might be best to rename it saxon655.jar ) somewhere where you can find it again

If you don't have Sun java installed, you can find the 'standard edition' at java.sun.com. Currently it is JDK 6 Update 4. Note that you need the JDK (development kit), since the standard edition (SE) doesn't have the tools.jar file included, which is needed by the ant tool
