There has been a version of Velocity, src and jar, in whiteboard/geir
for 2 weeks now that is an approach to providing the 'separate instance'
functionality that people have been asking for. There have been a few
users that have tested it with positive feedback, and I think that there
is no downside to this approach - it should be just as fast (or faster -
I found a bug I fixed :) than the current post 1.1 codebase.
What this does is allow you to avoid the singleton model of Velocity,
and create separate, independant new instances of Velocity :
VelocityEngine ve = new VelocityEngine();
I would like to check this in, as moving forward with anything else is
somewhat painful for me as I must update both in my separate instance
source tree, as well as my 'HEAD' source tree.
There are still three outstanding issues that I will take care of, 1 the
bug reported by VM_INLINE_LOCAL bug reported by Dan, the implied init(),
and what appears to be a logger issue, reported by Piero.
Thoughts?
