Hi Jean-Marc,

I see only two quite not very handy ways to do this :

1. The first one is to use JAVA bindings. Ok, it will work, but is

not really elegant.

2. The second one is to fork BaseX code : adding the JAVA code to

BaseX, modifying the file Function.JAVA. That might work, should be efficient, but it is quite heavy, and overall, will be most probably a dead-code the next time I will have to upgrade BaseX.

Is there any alternative way ?

If I understand correctly, you want to use an extension library module, written in Java, from another XQuery module. The following page on BaseX wiki document how to do it with a package:
