I thought there was a JIRA issue on this, but I was mistaken. I was thinking it'd be nice to support #someMacro (10 + 10) but I don't feel strongly about it. Actually, on a related topic, I'd really like to see us add syntax for expressions in method calls. I do this all the time (generating

ah, expressions with operators... yeah, that's something we'd probably want to support for method, macro, and directive parameters all at once, to minimize con fusion about where thos are allowed. i suppose they already are allowed in some (all?) directives though. On 3/24/07, Will

Hi, It seems incremental to me (though a big increment). And backwards compatible. Less effort than a complete parser rewrite. (really, all you're doing is having DirectiveArg() call Expression() instead of StringLiteral(), IntegerLiteral(), etc). I've got other things I'm interested in

Cool, things have improved; i only found two more clear grammar problems: - In the Project Details section, the start of the last sentence in the third paragraph needs to change from If the values is True to If the value is True. - In the third sentence of the Maximum recursive depths

Supun, Really a very nice proposal. I think it'd be helpful to link at the end a list of relevant JIRA issues and wiki pages. It looks like (among other things) you are referring to http://wiki.apache.org/velocity/MacroIssues You list 'All the improvements to the code should not destroy the

+1 on the Performance project. There are some great tools for profiling applications now with open source licenses. As a student, you also will learn a great deal from this project. The things you learn from profiling are very interesting, having been involved in a 2 month project performance

Ideas from the community? What about some *real* performance improvements? 4 years ago, when Velocity gained a big number of users, it was because Velocity was much faster than JSP. This is not true anymore, as JSP is much faster and scalable now. Maybe it would be the time to try to regain
