exception using velocity in maven.xml

["Frey, John (MED)" <Jo...@med.ge.com>]

I get the following exception upon trying to use Velocity tags in my
maven.xml file. I'm following the Apache DB-Site example provided in the
user guide. What gives?

Put a velocity dependency in your project.xml file. I posted a message
