Description

In net/sf/saxon/resource/ActiveSAXSource.java, when an Exception is cached, an IllegalStateException is throwed. Maybe you can set the cause in the IllegalStateException and not print the exception stack trace.

Instead of:

} catch (Exception x) {
       x.printStackTrace();
       throw new IllegalStateException();

Do something like:

} catch (Exception x) {
        throw new IllegalStateException(x);

Indeed, that's certainly an improvement. The code was probably added to diagnose some particular problem as a once-off. I'm not sure why we bother catching the fallback exception at all, but there may be a reason (perhaps connected with C#?) so I'll leave it in for safety on the 11.x branch, but take it out for 12.x.
