XSLT transformation at command line (using Saxon prepackaged with Oxygen)

I am using command line on Mac OS X (10.11.5) to try transformations outside of Oxygen using Saxon (as I get ready to do bulk processing of large sets of XML-TEI files to HTML).

I use the following basic command:

java -cp /Applications/Oxygen XML Editor/lib/saxon9ee.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform  -s:/Users/idjet/Desktop/test/sourcefilename.xml -xsl:/Users/idjet/Desktop/test/transformfilename.xsl -o:/Users/idjet/Desktop/test/testoutput.html

But it produces this error that I can't get to the bottom of:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: XML
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: XML
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

Thanks in advance.

(I admit I'm unfamiliar with Java.)

Note that the version of the Saxon JAR file that's distributed with oXygen is not designed to be used outside oXygen. To run Saxon from the command line, first download a free-standing version of Saxon (from SourceForge in the case of Saxon-HE, or from saxonica.com in the case of commercial editions).

In particular, oXygen enables features such as Streaming and Schema-Awareness in Saxon, and to use these features outside the oXygen environment you will need a license key from Saxonica.
