Generate an XSLT Identity Stylesheet with Relaxer
Quickly generate XSLT stylesheets with Asami Tomoharu’s Relaxer.
Relaxer (http://www.relaxer.org) is a Java schema compiler for XML.

If you are on Windows and submitted c:\lib and c:\bin, for example, the script will respond:
[Configuration] Install directory = c:\lib Command directory = c:\bin Type "yes" to install, "no" to re-enter, "exit" to exit >
Use whatever directories are appropriate for your system. If you type
yes here, you will see this ...
