Constructor Detail

### XSLTProcess

    public XSLTProcess()

  Creates a new XSLTProcess Task.

Method Detail

### setScanIncludedDirectories

    public void setScanIncludedDirectories(boolean b)

  Whether to style all files in the included directories as well; optional, default is true.

  Parameters:
    `b` - true if files in included directories are processed.
  Since:
    Ant 1.5

### setReloadStylesheet

    public void setReloadStylesheet(boolean b)

  Controls whether the stylesheet is reloaded for every transform.

  Setting this to true may get around a bug in certain Xalan-J versions, default is false.

  Since:
    Ant 1.5.2

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Executes the task.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - if there is an execution problem.
  To do:
    validate that if either in or our is defined, then both are

### setForce

    public void setForce(boolean force)

  Set whether to check dependencies, or always generate; optional, default is false.

  Parameters:
    `force` - true if always generate.

### setBasedir

    public void setBasedir(java.io.File dir)

  Set the base directory; optional, default is the project's basedir.

  Parameters:
    `dir` - the base directory

### setDestdir

    public void setDestdir(java.io.File dir)

  Set the destination directory into which the XSL result files should be copied to; required, unless `in` and `out` are specified.

  Parameters:
    `dir` - the name of the destination directory

### setExtension

    public void setExtension(java.lang.String name)
