Hi,

As you can see with the log messages, we're making some headway on a
variety of Velocity issues this week.

One quick item for discussion.  The default logging behavior is to
create a file "velocity.log" in the current directory.  This is really
quite annoying in a webapp or integrated app.  One of my colleagues
built a quick email routine using Velocity in a webapp.  Now, I see a
"velocity.log" file created on my Linux server in whatever directory I
happened to be in when I started Tomcat!

Here's the suggestion.  Switch the default logging to StdErr.  I'd
suggested something similar in VELOCITY-403, but there was no
resolution.  STDERR is preferred to STDOUT so that it doesn't mess up
existing log files if out is redirected.

Consequence... happier web developers.  Possible problem - command
line apps which depend on Velocity.log being created don't see it.

Any comments?
