Ok, I will try to add this within the next week.
Thanks,

Hey-- would love to see the ability to include system properties in
velocity.properties. I use that feature in log4j.properties all the time.
(Incidentally, it's always dangerous to credit individual authorship in an
open source project. Jason Van Zyl, Jon Stevens and Daniel Rall were the
original creators, with Geir following soon after.)
Best,

Ahh cool, Ill check that out. I know you're the author so its hard for
you
to present an unbiased view but are there any penalty performances
moving
to this loader ?
oh, and while Claude and i have done some tweaking on the
WebappLoader, Geir was the original creator. :)
i don't think it would be all that hard to add support for including>
environmental variables in the properties. you would pretty much just
watch for properties either coming in or going out of RuntimeInstance
for environment variables and do the replacement there. It would
probably be easiest to do this in RuntimeInstance#getProperty.
Ok thanks.
Thanks Nathan,

Is there anyway we can set relative paths in this file ?
in which file? in velocity.properties?
This is the only configuration file out of dozens that doesn't
support
this and its making deployment a serious pain.

Or can I use environmental variables in this file ? That would work
also.
sounds like a useful thing to me!
If not - how much development would it take to get this to work ?
It
might be worth it for us to contribute this to Velocity.
