> This JIRA proposes the ability to inject custom POJOs into the Velocity
> template.
> It is possible [to override template directory
> configuration|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-963?jql=project%20%3D%20AVRO%20AND%20component%20%3D%20java%20AND%20text%20~%20%22template%22]
> and thus make the compiler to generate customized code. However,
> customization possibilities are constrained to [Velocity Template
> Language|https://velocity.apache.org/engine/releases/velocity-1.5/user-guide.html#velocity_template_language_vtl:_an_introduction]
> and [objects
> injected|https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/trunk/lang/java/compiler/src/main/java/org/apache/avro/compiler/specific/SpecificCompiler.java#L339-L340]
> into the template's context.
> The ability of injecting custom objects into the template's context would
> leverage customization possibilities to the whole Java language itself. The
> patch I'm about to attach modifies both compiler and maven-plugin in order to
> provide client applications with the ability of easy injecting custom Java
> objects into the Velocity templates' context.
