What's new in this version

Release 1.4.1

Some more support for remote debugging with Tomcat. Needs 6.9.1 NetBeans (not tested yet for 7.0). Only available from java.net - try it out and provide feedback please - do people want it verified for 7.0?

Release 1.3.10

NetBeans 6.9 release. Tested on Windows 7 and Linux (CentOS).

Release 1.3.9

Maintenance release fixing a couple of robustness issues.

Release 1.3.8

New features in Local debugging.

  • Added support for passing in transformation parameters--of String type.
  • Also added support for Oasis catalog URI resolving in the Local debugging so you can use different imports/includes/document depending on environment.

Fixed annoying bug that kept asking if you want to edit while debugging---after you stopped debugging!

Release 1.3.7

This is an maintenance release.

  • Hover over a "select" attribute to see what the debugger sees as "current" selection.
  • Identity transformation problem in Remote Debugging.

Check the issues for details.

WARNING: If upgrading from or before 1.3.5 remove the "OptionsTopComponent.settings" file as found under the NetBeans user config directory. New serialization used will prevent old versions of the settings file from being read and the XSLT Debugger Options windows will not load as a result.

Not working for NetBeans 6.9

Version 1.3.10 and version 1.4.1 work with NetBeans 6.9. Version 1.3.10 is the version currently available for download from this site.


Version 1.4.1 works somewhat with NetBeans 7.0, but has some UI problems.


If there are problems please create bugs on the host site.


Thanks for rating!

the local degugging work for netbean 6.8

I maintain some old code. It use xslt1.0 and EXSLT extension. I try xmpspy , I coudln't work. Only netbean 6.8 can work. Netbean 6.9, netbean 7.0 could not work, either. Does anybody can tell me the reason? this plugin work great for netbean 6.8. I want to give 5 star. but I click the star, it saved as 3 star, and I couldn't change the results any more. It is strange user interface.
