Static methods can't be called from the Velocity context.  Make it a
non-static method of a singleton instance, and it will work fine.

not true.  you can call *any* public method on an instance of any public
class.  whether it's static or not doesn't matter.  (otherwise, things like
velocity-tools' MathTool wouldn't work, and i assure you that it does. :)
