I am thinking of contributing a very simple UI for FreeMarker. Something able to read a single template and process it with a datamodel pulled from various sources (user interface window, properties file, XML file…) Would that be useful and help with advertising FreeMarker? I have some code to use as a starting point on my website: http://bredelet.com/Denis/FreeMarker%20first%20steps.html Maybe this could come as a separate JAR to avoid loading UI classes unnecessarily.
