Welcome to Velocity! As always, the if you have any questions : 1) Make sure you followed any directions :) (did you build everything?) 2) Review documentation included in this package, or online at http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/ 3) Ask on the velocity-user list. This is a great source of support information. To join, read http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html and then follow the link at the bottom to join the lists. event_example ------------ This simple example demonstrates the event handling features of the Velocity Template Engine. Note that this is considered a more advanced topic - you don't need to know this to use 99% of the features of Velocity, so if this seems like too much at first - ignore it! This is a standalone program. It is compiled by the 'examples' build target. To run, and assuming you have the Velocity and Commons-Collections jar in your CLASSPATH, simply do : java EventExample if the .jar's are not in your classpath, do : java -cp \ ../../bin/velocity-[VERSION].jar:../../build/lib/commons-collections.jar:. \ EventExample (NOTE: make sure that the jarname is correct - this document might get out of synch with the release version numbers.)
