Yes, java has this ?silly? idea of the classpath,
where to look for java files.
You need to tell java where it can find the com.icl.saxon.Stylesheet class.

Its in Saxon653 jar file, so add that, by telling java

java -cp /path/to/saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o test.html 
c:\studies\test\test.xml c:\studies\tools\xsl\html\docbook.xsl

That puts it in the command line (use a .bat file), rather than
including it for all java apps, which uses the environment variable
CLASSPATH (same way as windows uses PATH).

I find it easier that way.
