Hi, Just wanted to highlight this article for members of the Velocity dev community
http://blog.hibernate.org/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/2006/02/03#a_story_about_freemarker_and_velocity This article describes why the author of the Hibernate Tools is moving from Velocity to FreeMarker. Makes some good points about error handling and application integration. Some of the concerns will be alleviated with 1.5 but it's interesting to ponder his various points. Cheers, Will
