There exists newest version of saxon than what's in portage tree. It would be nice to have it in portage tree.
Created attachment 116975 [details] saxon-6.5.5.ebuild Ebuild for saxon-6.5.5.
Created attachment 116977 [details] files/build-6.5.5.xml Build file for saxon-6.5.5.
In CVS. Not your ebuild though, because it was gen-1, why? But thanks for reporting. Also dropped all deps except jdom, allowed to build with >1.4 JDK, seems no problem. Had to tweak build.xml wrt manifest handling. Apicheck not 100% against 6.5.2, but the only package (aspectj) doesn't mind.
