DOCBOOK: Slides with Jade?

Hello.

I really love whats been done with slides-v2.0, and I'd like to really 
embrase it, but I find using Xerces and Xalan a real pain.  I keep 
getting odd errors that make no sense, namely:

[benr@nexus tests]$ $JAVA_HOME/java -cp /opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/xalan.jar:/opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/bsf.jar:/opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/xml-apis.jar:/opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/jsse.jar:/opt/j2re1.4.0/lib/rt.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process -in test.xml -xsl test.xsl 

(Location of error unknown)XSLT Error (javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException): javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
[benr@nexus tests]$ 

The test.xml and test.xsl are thoughs of the slides-2.0/test directory.

Can I simply use a tool written in C with functionality closer to OpenJade, if not simply use OpenJade itself?
