FileResourceLoader does not conform to its spec
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: VELOCITY-713
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-713
             Project: Velocity
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.7
         Environment: Checked in source code of HEAD
            Reporter: Dariusz Kordonski
            Priority: Minor


The JavaDoc for org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader 
says:
' A loader for templates stored on the file system.  Treats the template
 as relative to the configured root path.  If the root path is empty
 treats the template name as an absolute path.'

The functionality of trying to resolve name as absolute path in case no root 
paths are configured is not implemented. Additionally, I suggest implementing 
new feature - a kind of configuration flag 'useAsAbsolutePath' that would 
trigger resolving resource name as absolute path, no matter if additional roots 
for given loader were configured. Sorry for not putting it under separate JIRA 
issue, it's only my suggestion and it's related to the reported bug.
