[jira] Commented: (ARCHETYPE-39) Add tool for working with escaping in Velocity templates

["Kaizer Sogiawala (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-39?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=173956#action_173956 ] 

Kaizer Sogiawala commented on ARCHETYPE-39:
-------------------------------------------

It'd be nice to access all Velocity Tools from the archetype (not just the EscapeTools). I have an archetype that need to generate unique serializationID and can't get archetype to replace this one. There is MathTool, but there is no way to inject this into current Context.

See http://www.nabble.com/How-to-use-velocity-tools-from-a-non-web-application-td6299220.html#a6299317 for a background.

> e.g. I need to put ${archifactId} (without parameter replacement) into an assembly descriptor.  I need to escape the dollar sign.
> This is the Escape Tool of Velocity - http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/tools/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/EscapeTool.html.  The embedded Velocity engine will be configured to use it, or archetype plugin allows further Velocity configuration.
