I tried to build the DocBook documentation of jEdit, which can be found in source on www.jedit.org
With xsltproc it works without problems, but with XSLTC which I would prefer to use I cannot get it managed.
If I do "java -cp xalan.jar org.apache.xalan.xsltc.cmdline.Compile jedithtml.xsl" I get a ClassCastException:

As far as I could track it down it is caused by "<xsl:variable name="use.id.as.filename">1</xsl:variable>", "<xsl:variable name="toc.list.type">ul</xsl:variable>" and "<xsl:variable name="funcsynopsis.style">ansi</xsl:variable>" if either of these are present.

And after that exception I get a compiler-error:
