Chad,

Thank you for the suggestion- but I am modifying a
template in the java cartridge provided- in the
ValueObject.vsl. I would like to add a line that has
the date.
I added as you suggested a template object as such in
the andromda-cartridge.xml:

    <templateObject name="date"
className="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool"/>

But still get no output- even with that jar in the
lib- I do not have a generic class for the Date- that
is why I was using VelocityTools (or trying to)...

Any ideas welcome-Thanks,
jim
