i was wondering if someone would suggest that... :) it is an idea i considered briefly, but decided against for several reasons. for one, MathTool is completely static, there is no point or benefit to implementing ContextTool or any other tool interface. but the main problem i have with implementing ContextTool is that i do not use these tools solely with the VelocityViewServlet. in fact, they were originally written to be used in a Turbine/Velocity web app and are still primarily used there. so I don't think there is any benefit to tying these tools to the view servlet. my opinion of the ContextTool interface is that it is that it should be used *only* when necessary. otherwise, tools should remain as generic as possible so they can be easily used in a variety of different settings. anyhow, i look forward to checking out the changes you just committed. thanks for doing all that!
