Examples and Split jar files

[Sam Joseph <ga...@yha.att.ne.jp>]

Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right place for bugs, but I think that the 
latest release of velocity has a small problem in that the ant build.xml 
file doesn't place the velocity-dep-1.2.jar in the forumdemo.  It may be 
that I didn't use ant exactly according to your instructions, but I 
would have thought that the build.xml file should include a depedency 
that makes sure both velocity-1.2.jar and velocity-dep-1.2.jar are 
present in the forumdemo war ....

I encountered the same problem (lack of velocity-dep-1.2.jar) running 
the sample servlet.  In both cases I fixed the problem by dropping the 
additional jar into the appropriate location, but I note that the 
instructions in the relevant readme file just say

 - put the velocity.jar into the velexample/WEB-INF/lib directory

which might interpret just to mean the single velocity-1.2.jar

Nice project by the way.

Yep - you got a class not found exception because the non-dep jar doesn't
contain the external dependencies and the -dep jar does, for convenience.

Another way :

Velocity-dep-1.2.jar == velocity-1.2.jar + commons-collections.jar +
logkit.jar

Hmm, maybe I was mistaken then, because adding the velocity-dep-1.2.jar 
certainly seemed to clear up the problem ... I'll just see if I can 
replicate it ....

Yeah, if I remove the velocity-dep-1.2.jar from the forumdemo I get this 
error appended below.
If I put velocity-dep-1.2.jar back in it goes away -- maybe something 
necessary is missing from velocity-1.2.jar, or, ah, I think I understand 
- the system is supposed to work with the velocity-dep-1.2.jar and the 
velocity-1.2.jar is not intended for the examples ....  I just have to 
make sure to use the velocity-dep-1.2.jar in tomcat ....

Yep - if you are right, we should fix that.  Will do in the 1.3 release.

However - you don't need both jars - because the -dep- jar is the velocity
jar with its dependencies (commons-collections and avalon-logkit)
included...

Ok - we'll make that clear.
