Messages View

xsl:message instructions are one way to signal special situations encountered during transformation as well as a raw way of doing the debugging. The Messages view is available only for XSLT debugging sessions and shows all xsl:message calls executed by the XSLT processor during transformation. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window > Show View menu.
