In order to use Velocity an engineer needs to import a
couple of different packages. Even in the simple cases
described in the tutorials, you sometimes need:
import org.apache.velocity.* ;
import org.apache.velocity.runtime.* ;
or
import org.apache.velocity.* ;
import org.apapche.velocity.app.* ;
and so on. It would be nice if (for the common cases),
an engineer using Velocity only had to import one package,
and that was org.apache.velocity.*. At a minimum, I'd put
Velocity, VelocityContext, Template, and some Exceptions there.
Also, in looking at the AbstractContext stuff, and the example
which uses it (context_example), I don't see what is the results
of not implementing internalGetKeys or internalContainsKey.
The example has both of these stubbed out, but it would be nice
if the javadocs for AbstractContext explained how this limited the
resulting Context class.
Finally, a note about HTML in email:
I'm been through my mail client, looking for options to ensure that
this email is in plain text. As I write this the toolbar assures me
that it is indeed "plain text". So, if you think this email contains
HTML, please tell me exactly where, and cc to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When you guys reply to me, I never see HTML code is my email, even in
cases where people complain about it. The address above goes to
a different mail client, so I can see if my own has been hiding the
HTML formatting tags. Thank you.
