After reading up regarding licensing a bit more, I'm going to consider
switching to an ASF or BSD license. Shouldn't matter much right now because
I don't think anyone is planning to redistribute this :)
I'll add something about what goes in the context to the docs.
For those who can't wait, VPP inserts the ant project's properties into the
context with the key of 'ant', so that you can reference your project's
properties in the source:
#if( $ant.anImportantPropertySetInYourBuildScript )
...
#end
where anImportantPropertySetInYourBuildScript is exactly what it says. You
can also get hold of all of your current enviroment variables in your
template if you load them in ant:
<!-- in your build script -->
<property environment="env"/>
## in the template
#if( $ant.env.anImportantEnvironmentVariable )
...
#end
I'm not sure what else you would want or even could put in the context.
