Depending on your build system, could you invoke different versions of velocity 
for the build environment (Cayenne) and the runtime environment (your app)?

Alternatively, the velocity templates in Cayenne are quite simple. Perhaps 
you'd be able to review what would be needed in upgrading them to velocity 1.7. 
I don't think it should be too hard... we'd be happy to see your patches for 
inclusion in Cayenne. Personally I don't use Velocity outside of Cayenne, so I 
don't know what is involved in the upgrade.

Dear friends,

First of all, kudos to all developers for this great project. :) I have to say 
I'm really impressed and satisfied with Cayenne. It really makes things easier 
to model and implement.

First of all, apologies if this subject is recurring in the mailing list. I 
tried to follow some past messages hoping to find a workaround, but I had no 
luck so far.

One specific application of mine makes heavy use of Velocity for generating 
reports and other kinds of documents. Most of my templates are really complex, 
they make use of several features included in the most recent Velocity release 
(1.7). Long story short: these templates are not properly generated from 
Velocity shipped with Cayenne. :)

I would like to hear from you experienced Cayenne users if anyone has a 
successful story of Cayenne working with Velocity 1.7. The project I have is 
not Maven-based, but I don't see any restrictions in a possible migration if a 
possible solution requires it.

Thanks a lot for your time, and again thanks for making Cayenne a jewel in 
software development.

Best wishes,

Paulo
