Generic tools that can be used in any context. PLEASE NOTE: this is a temporary fork to unblock projects migrating to Jakarta, but I won't continue maintaining it in the future as the Velocity team doesn't understand the value of Jakarta. I strongly suggest you plan a switch to a more modern template engine such as Thymeleaf.

The newest version!
