BUILDING VELOCITY
-----------------
In order to get started with Velocity, you may want to build it. If
you are working with an offical Velocity release package, you will find
-the Velocity jar in the top level directory.
+two Velocity jars in the top level directory.
-Note that starting with the version 1.2 release, this Velocity jar
-does *NOT* contain any classes from external packages that it
-depends on.
-
-Specifically, these are the Jakarta commons-collections,
-Jakarta ORO, and Jakarta Avalon Logkit. These jars are included
-in the distribution in build/lib, and further information can be
-found in the developers guide.
+PLEASE NOTE : Starting with the 1.2 release, we include two jars
+ with the distribution :
+
+1) velocity-1.2.jar : The Velocity jar that does not include
+any external dependencies needed by Velocity, such as the
+jakarta-commons-collection classes, Jakarta Avalon Logkit, or
+Jakarta ORO. We do this to allow you to use whatever version of
+collections, logkit, etc that you wish w/o fear of collision.
+These jars are included in the distribution, in
+the build/lib directory, or at the respective project sites.
+
+2) velocity-dep-1.2.jar : This is a Velocity jar that includes
+all dependencies that were included with previous distribution
+jars. It is intended as a convenience to allow you to drop
+this 1.2 distribution in place of existing 1.1 distributions.
+
+Please see the developers guide for more information.
+
Building Velocity is easy. All components necessary to build Velocity are
included, except for the Java 2 SDK and the fabulous Ant build tool
