Jörg Rade commented on FREEMARKER-74:
-------------------------------------

# Sorry! There is of course JavaDoc at http://freemarker.org/docs/api/index.html
# due to formatting, it escaped my (unpatient) eye
# for novice users like me, explaining the meaning of parameters via @param 
helps a lot
My code now reads{code}
        Configuration cfg = new Configuration(null);
        Template t = new Template(null, body, cfg);
{code}
I can imaging that even this is not the use you intended - but hey - it does 
what I expect.
Why should users deal with parameters they don't need? 
Of course later my requirements will lead me to appreciate the possibilities 
Configuration offers.
But right now I'm happy what I get with this 'Hello World'.

Thx -j

> # add java doc to all Constructors 
> # change 'String name' to 'String templateDescription'
> # provide a Constructor where the 'templateSourceString' can be passed in 
> directly
> ad 3) I have a use case where I have already have the template source at hand 
> and all the file io is handled elsewhere - so I may even get along without 
> cfg (insofar as it deals with file io)
