I found this article helpful though. I'm using Ant v1.7.0 through Eclipse v3.3.2, Saxon v9.0.0.1 I was able to set the “javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory” with a “property” set inside the target where I called the “xslt” task and point it to Saxon. Actually, I got this to work:

<!-- Converts Taxonomy XML exports into HTML files. -->
<target name="xslt" depends="xsltDepends">
    <property name="javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory"
      value="${xsl.factory}"/>
    <xslt style="${build.xsl}/${xsl.html}"
      destdir="${build.html}" classpathref="saxon.path"
      basedir="${build.xml}" includes="*.xml"/>
</target>

I wish the ant team could address this :-) Trying this with Saxon 6.5.5
