Haven't heard back on this one yet - but did manage to find this archive:

Read the guide a third time. I think perhaps the "Fundamental Pattern"
code example in the docs is missing a crucial line - Velocity.init();
After adding the init (which is mentioned in the other examples, but not
the fundamental one) - my template loads and runs swimmingly. :-)
Another note - seems that I needed to import two more classes to make
things happy (again, these aren't noted in the Fundamental Pattern)
import org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity;
import org.apache.velocity.Template;
Thanks!
