Claude, I think I have managed to resolve it. Most of the methods in org.apache.velocity.util.StringUtils have been removed. Which texen relies on for parsing the vm files via the context.
I updated the texen.properties variable to use the commons StringUtils instead. ie #context.objects.strings=org.apache.velocity.util.StringUtils context.objects.strings=org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils So far it looks OK. Were all of the string methods replaced by the commons version?
