What if the context tools works the same way as the turbine modules
with loaders and caching of the modules (read: tools) ?
Then we could specifiy in the velocity.properties where to search for
the context tools (eksample:
<snip>
contexttools.package=org.apache.velocity.contexttools,
org,yourorg,velocity.contexttools
</snip>)
And put a toolloader in the context whitch can be used like this
<snip of vtl>
#set $aTool = $toolLoader.getTool("org.apache.velocity.contexttool.SomeTool")
</snip of vtl>
humble regards
