Texen
Hi,
I have made some changes to texen to allow generation from a set of
templates in the filesystem and from a JAR.
If a couple people could update their repositories and run the tests to make
sure everything is cool I would appreciate it.
Geir, I am going to try to get Torque working completely from a JAR, which I
think I can do now, so I'm pretty much finished with any changes I want to
make.
After 1.2 is release, I would like to move texen out of the velocity core,
either into a jakarta-velocity-texen repository or to the commons. I think
we should do the same with Anakia. My preference is for a
jakarta-velocity-${package} type setup for now.

Texen in jakarta-velocity-texen currently makes the most sense to me
as well.

I don't see any benefit of moving it to the commons, I don't think there is
necessarily any exposure or political benefits. Plus it's easier to move it
to jakarta-velocity-texen than put it in the sandbox and go through the
proposal process. Like I said I'm not averse to putting texen in the commons
eventually, but I would like to work on it in jakarta-velocity-texen first.
Who knows what it will become after it gets a serious cleanup.

At first I would prefer to keep it in jakarta-velocity-texen if no one is
averse. I would consider moving texen to the commons but not now.

Things seem ok. All tests pass for me, including the new texen-classpath

I think it makes sense for texen, so texen can evolve and grow. I am less
sure of anakia, just because it would be an inconvenience, and the easier
anakia is, the easier the battle will be. I don't have strong feelings
though.
I think jakarta-velocity-texen is cool. We can also consider if putting it
in Commons makes sense, just to give it more exposure. The reason I propose
this is it would might help ease any of the political concerns people would
have using Velocity, the evil JSP spoiler, whereas a Jakarta Commons text
processing tool is less frightening.
<shrug> :)
