There's a big benefit to testing from a templating engine that doesn't require a servlet container. I used Velocity recently for the CAS protocol views in Shib mostly because that's what they chose, and it was easy to port the existing JSP views to Velocity. Asserting exact protocol responses is stupid easy with Velocity because you can inject data into the Velocity context and render the view into a string buffer, then assert expected against actual. That's very hard if not impossible to do with JSP views. So we could improve test coverage with a non-JSP view engine. I don't see any benefit other than that.
