The reason is quite simple. The macro logic is quite complicated and cumbersome. It hardly can be implemented in velocity template. It's legacy architecture "feature" - view asks business logic for a model.
Maybe I do not need macro and directive works just well. I need to define some kind of "shortcut" for view developer who can use it in any view. And a logic behind this "shortcut" is actually evaluated only if velocity engine encounter "shortcut" in rendered view. Can you point out where i can find info about custom directive? Thank you!

Is there some particular reason you want to attach the macro to a specific context? If you are just wanting to define a "Velocimacro" in a java class, than you can create a custom directive. But those must be associated with a VelocityEngine before initialization. Your other option would be to "Use A Tool". This could be a tool that takes advantage of the VelocityTools support or just any old POJO. Have it take the parameters you want and generate the output you want. Then you just put it in your context and use it. Other than these alternatives, no, i don't believe it is possible to define a Velocimacro in a java class and attach it to a specific context.
