comparing long values

If I have the following code in a velocity template:

#if($myNumber > 0) yes # else no #end

If $myNumber is an Integer, it works, but if it is a Long, it doesn't. 
Is there any way to check if a Long is greater or less than an int?

Long arithmetic will be available from 1.5.  Which you need to get
from the nightly snapshots or build it from source.
    http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/install.html

As a 1.4 solution, (haven't tried, but) you might be able to use compareTo.
    #if($myNumber.compareTo(0) > 0) yes # else no #end
