Aslak, I think you've mixing two different things:
- the velocity template generation (what you seemingly generate, though
I should see what you've done)
- how we define new @tags. From XTag-derived class -> xtags.xml, or
xtags.xml -> class. I beleive I should write down what we've discussed
in y! messenger previously, plus some other cool ideas, and as soon as
possible. Let me get rid of the maven plugin and have a beta1 out and
we'll start discussing it.
