Hi Chad, no JIRA needed :-) I managed to work my way through the Velocity-invocation ... I attached a patch which contains the necessary changes in Cartridge.java and VelocityTemplateEngine.java. It worked for me - please have a look at it and patch it in if you agree - I don't have CVS write access. -- Awesome! Thanks for doing this, I'll take a look and add the patch. Also I'm not shure where this feature should be documented, since it's a property which applies to all cartridges (as far as I see it's the first of these species). -- It should be documented in the cartridges section of the docs, so in andromda-all/cartridges/xdocs. If you want to add a patch for the docs as well please feel free :) If you do the docs patch please create a jira issue because jira is easier to keep track of than email (and it will create the email notification as well anyway). -- Thanks again! --Chad Matthias On Sun, 2004-08-22 at 17:29, Chad Brandon wrote: > Good idea Matthias, like Wouter said. we have been discussing this, I do > like the idea of defining a directory where it can decide to use those > templates instead. > of having to rejar the entire cartridge.
