Yes,Alexander,and I google it,and i found one choice:jep.and maybe javacc is
another choice for this.
by the way,besides evaluating math expression ,my macro can insert varibles
in it.
like expr("$a+100*$b").
still I think this is not a good way to do it,maybe next version of velocity
will support this expression eval internally,which I think is not a hard
task for the talented developers.
the macro:
#macro(expr $expression)
#set($temp--='#set($temp---'+"=$expression)"+'$temp---')
#evaluate($temp--)
#end
