Just to clarify : what I was thinking is that there are a number of
useful utilities that aren't necessarily Velocity specific that we could
bring together to form a new component of the Jakarta Commons project.
Then they could be easily shared by all w/o being tied to a specific
Velocity release.
The Jakarta Commons is a Jakarta project chartered as a place for
'standalone' components, utilities, tools, and such. If you are
unfamiliar with 'the Commons', I urge you to take a look and
participate.
As an example, the MessageResource and related classes were recently
donated by Craig and the Struts project as a nucleus for a package of
utilities for dealing with string resource management and related
issues.
