Aggregate Tool
Hello,
I think I'm still a Velocity committer, but I've been inactive for so
long I'd rather contribute like a non-committer for a while.
For one of our projects I created an Aggregate Tool. This tool takes a
list of numbers and calculates the sum/average for the list of numbers.
The tool can also take a list of beans and a field name. It will then
extract the numeric values for the field and add them together.

Hi,
No protests for my side. I'll move the functionality to the Math tool
and resubmit.

yeah, and actually, the more i think about it, the more sure i am that this
belongs there. that way we can take advantage of MathTool's existing
object-to-number conversion code and the matchType() stuff for return values.
and i'm actually almost done with the switch. <grin/> just gotta test and
i'll check this in soon. Leon, please protest if you feel strongly otherwise.

while sneaking in a few hours today for veltools stuff, i decided to test this
out. it works fine and seems useful. so i'd like to check it in. my only
question is why not put this functionality into MathTool? it is just simple
math, after all.
thoughts on this from anyone are welcome, but i do especially want to hear
from Leon. :)

Hi Nathan,
No problem - I know paid work can be a pain in the behind ;-)
I have some more contributions, but they're no quite ready yet. You
will probably hear more from me soon.

first, sorry for the slow response. really, i am reading emails right now, i
just haven't the time to deal with them. i'm swamped with life and paid work
at the moment. second, the tool looks good; i'll try it out (and then commit
it) as soon as i get a chance. unless, that is, marino or dlr beats me to it.
