By that logic, using velocity is a breach of MVC.
Just because the presentation layer is supported by code doesn't breach 
separation of presentation and control.  The tools are part of the 
presentation layer.

Tool usage can be completely under the control of the renderer.   You can 
use a tool or choose not to use a tool.  You can specify an alterate tool to 
use by changing the toolbox.xml configuration file -- it's not necessary or 
desirable to load your tools from your control layer.
