Can't compile .xslt into java class file

Question

I have been trying to compile xslt file into java class and keep getting this errors. Not sure what I am doing wrong here:

java com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.cmdline.Compile test.xslt

java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.Parser.parse(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.XSLTC.compile(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.XSLTC.compile(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.compiler.XSLTC.compile(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.cmdline.Compile.main(Unknown Source)
Compiler errors:
Could not compile stylesheet

my test.xslt file:

 <?xml version="1.0"?> 
 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">  
   <xsl:template match="/hello-world">
     <HTML>
       <HEAD>
         <TITLE></TITLE>
       </HEAD>
       <BODY>
         <H1>
           <xsl:value-of select="greeting"/>
         </H1>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="greeter"/>
       </BODY>
     </HTML>   </xsl:template>   <xsl:template match="greeter">
     <DIV>from <I><xsl:value-of select="."/></I></DIV>   
  </xsl:template> 
</xsl:stylesheet>

No initially in the file, every line started with a closing tag sign. Other question: what command did you use to compile the file? — willeM_ Van Onsem

Try the version of Xalan from Apache. It's generally more reliable than the version that ships with the JDK.

It's not mine... It's one of my competitors! But if the answer works, please accept it. Not that I care about the brownie points (I'm too old for that), but the green tick-mark is helpful to subsequent readers of the thread.
