It would appear that setting the property "file.resource.loader.path" to an
empty string did the trick, namely:
props.setProperty("file.resource.loader.path", "");
Interestingly, simply NOT setting the value to start with, did not work.
So, now I can do this:
Velocity.mergeTemplate(file.getCanonicalPath(), "UTF-8", context, writer);
Where "file" is a java.io.File object that is passed in from Maven.
