No objections to introducing and using generic tools. Regarding Java vs. VTL: we have coverage tools for tests in Java we can easily check if everything have been tested. If we implement something in VTL we do test it when generating profiles, but it's easy to miss some "if" or "loop". We also have better editor, better warnings and better developers in Java ;-) So while I have no objections to enabling more functionality in VTL by injecting the tools in context, please don't overuse it.
