Hi Konstantin. Sounds good. Keep up the good work. Is the plan to
re-work all the existing templates to use Velocity, or will it just be an
alternate syntax?

Er, I'd prefer to keep it separate, at least for now. There are various
ideas I want to experiment with:
- Using Velocity templates. Note that this means actually using Velocity
for all the templating, not just supporting Velocity as an alternative.
- Test-first design. I've tried to write unit-tests for features before
I implement them. As a result, the EJB object-model at the core of
vDoclet is fairly robust.
- Avoiding the named-parameter syntax within tag values. Sorry, but I
just dislike it. So far, I've managed to avoid "structured" tags in
vDoclet (though I'm yet to tackle the EJB-2.0 relationship issue :-)
For now, since both the tags and templates are different, it's easier for
me to play with this stuff separately, without worrying about XDoclet
legacy. I wouldn't rule out a merge sometime later, if it seems useful for
both projects. In the meantime, I'm very happy if you want to borrow
ideas/code from vDoclet ... I've certainly got a bunch of good ideas from
XDoclet!
