Want to get going !!!
Hi there
I am trying to get Velocity running on my PC.
But when I try to execute the Example class I get an exception in the
velocity.log file.
The command being used for executing : java -cp .;../bin/velocity-0.72.jar
Example example.vm > output
In the output file java.lang.NullPointerException are displayed.
The example.vm file are in the same directory from where I issue the above
command ?
any ideas ?
regards
Andre Vermeulen

Yes, and our apologies in advance.
The examples were not kept up to date with the Velocity syntax. The
problem is that the #set() directive has an updated syntax and the
template was out of sync.
This was all fixed yesterday, so if you get a new nightly snapshot, or
re-fetch from CVS, all will be fine.
All you will have to do is
1) get a new CVS tree
2) run build-velocity.bat examples in the build directory
3) go play with the examples.
Again, our apologies, and thanks for using Velocity :)
