Eclipse XSL option missing in preferences

I am a newbie to Java, I am using Eclipse Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1). For XSLT transformations I need to use the saxon processor. But, when I navigate to Window -> Preferences -> XML I don't see the options for XSL. This is strange because my other colleagues see this option in their (same version of) Eclipse.

How can I get the XSL options?

Thanks :)

I am attaching an image of "how it should be" and "how it is".

Solution

  • There are several different downloads of each release of Eclipse. The contents of these downloads varies. It looks like you may have a download which does not contain the XSL tools.

    You can add the tools to your existing Eclipse by opening 'Help > Install New Software...'.

    In 'Work with' choose 'Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars'.

    Search for 'XSL' and you should find 'Eclipse XSL Developer Tools'.
