Reaching out to the list to see what my fellow abandonees prefer for 
templating. My needs are pretty simple - I’m just looking to use templates to 
compose emails. I have far too many email methods where the bodies of the 
emails are completely composed in code and I’d really like to move that out to 
some template engine.

So, the question is, what template engine do you prefer for this kind of work? 
Obviously, we’ve already got velocity producing our EO .java files - and I’m 
sure that’s workable. Any strong preferences out there?

I really like StringTemplate (http://www.stringtemplate.org). A feature I liked 
was the ability to pass an object to the template and the template could 
contain “keypaths” to attributes of the object - very much like we expect from 
the WO template engine. However, it would not work with accessors that do not 
use the get* convention - which I haven’t. I could convert but not sure it is 
worth it.
