>                 Key: VELOCITY-81
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-81
>             Project: Velocity
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Engine
>    Affects Versions: 1.3-rc1
>         Environment: Operating System: Windows XP
> Platform: PC
>            Reporter: Neeme Praks
>             Fix For: 1.5

> I'm running Velocity with Texen under WinXP/cygwin/SunJDK1.3.1_02-b02
> When I try to generate my pages, I get the following exception:
> org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of 
> method 'chop' in  class org.apache.velocity.util.StringUtils threw exception 
> class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException : null
> I've traced this back to the source code and found out that the reason for 
> this exception is most probably the fact that Velocity assumes that the 
> templates it is working with are written with the same EOL combination that is 
> the default for the platform that it is running on.
> So, to give you an example, I have templates that have Unix-style linebreaks 
> in them and I'm executing Velocity on Windows machine with those templates. 
> This breaks the whole thing down.
> Workaround? Convert your linebreaks or replace your chop method with this:
>     public static String chop(String s, int i, String eol)
>     {
>         char[] sa = s.toCharArray();
>         int length = sa.length;
>         length -= i;
>         return new String(sa, 0, length);
>     }
> This will of course break the system, if you have windows-style linebreaks.
> So, maybe you can come up with some more elegant fix for this problem? :-)
