Nathan Bubna commented on VELTOOLS-113:
---------------------------------------

Oh, i see the use, i only meant that i personally don't need it.  Our apps 
typically pull text from ResourceTool, so we have to structure things more like:

${text.cart.itemCount}: $item_count   ->  Items in your cart: 12

As for the tests, we use Ant as our primary build system, not Maven.   Run "ant 
test.generic" to run the GenericTool tests.
