Kernow

Synopsis
Kernow 1.6 is an open-source GUI and high-level API for the Saxon XSLT, XQuery and XML Schema processor. It was written by Andrew Welch and uses Java 1.6 (= Java 6). Kernow 1.8 offers 100 runs for free, and then a license needs to be bought. Closed source, distributed via Sourceforge, runs on Java 1.7.

Features
(from the project web page:)
 * it uses compiled stylesheets, multiple threads and caching resolvers to make the transforms run efficiently, and combo boxes that persist between runs
 * it is runnable from Ant allowing it to slot into your build process, and it's a high level API for Saxon making it very easy to run transforms from your own Java applications.
 * you can run it via Java Net Start straight from Sourceforge (no need for manual downloads)
 * it can also be used to test the performance of your transforms
 * it supports XQuery (see the relevant info)
 * it can be used to validate directories of XML with W3C XML Schemas, using either Xerces, Saxon-SA or any JAXP schema processor
