NPE Bug in AntTransform.java

I hit an NPE bug in using the saxon-xslt Ant task with the DITA Open Toolkit. The failure occurs when the filenameparameter= or filedirparameter= attributes are set on the <saxon-xslt> element. The bug is in the process() method, about line 742. I fixed the bug by moving the two lines: if (fileNameParameter != null) { transformer.setParameter(fileNameParameter, xmlFile); } if (fileDirParameter != null) { transformer.setParameter(fileDirParameter, baseDir.getAbsolutePath()); } to come after the call to configureLiaison(), before which, the transformer member is null, resulting in the NPE. Cheers, Eliot

Thanks. An equivalent change appears to have already been made in the 9.2 version of the source, though I can't see any evidence of a bug being logged. It's probably time I did a new build. One of the problems with this piece of code is the difficulty of testing: I don't have access to any test material for Ant; also I haven't succeeded in building Ant in my IDE so that I can put the code through a debugger. So it's a bit "orphaned" in its current status.
