I am doing a school assignment. One of the problems I have is to add a duration on to an existing date. I can't find any support for this problem with standard XSLT. So, I had a stab at using EXSLT which has an add method to do exactly what I want. However, I just can't get it working. Here is a the website for the method:

http://www.exslt.org/date/functions/add/index.html

I am using Eclipse with the Xslt plugin. The teacher said that Eclipse doesn't like EXSLT. So, could this be a problem with the IDE?

You will notice that the line <xsl:value-of select="date:add(Start, Duration)" /> is commented out because it is the line that causes errors. How can I get this line working?

Is there another way to add a duration to a date?

Anyway, here is the XSLT:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'>

	<!-- Import date EXSLT function -->
	<xsl:import href="date.add.xsl" />

	<!-- Ensure HTML is indented -->
	<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" name="html" />

	<!-- Template for root element -->
	<xsl:template match="/">

give a xml file for testing and result

Well, you could move to XSLT2
