(Though not completely Open Source / FLOSS ...)

Did you have a look at XMLMind's XXE Editor?  It is probably as 
convenient as can be, and has nice plug-ins for FOP or RenderX (the 
latter one is available in a Personal Edition).

It is extensively documented and customizable, and the Pro version gives 
you the full (Java) Source Code, too.

Best wishes,
