> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Improvement

> The encoding of template files is well-defined, so I see no reason to deprecate
> the method from above.
> There is a velocity property input.encoding which defines the encoding
> of templates
> "Character encoding for input (templates). Using this, you can use alternative
> encoding for your templates, such as UTF-8."
> I feel that Velocity.mergeTemplate(String,Context,Writer) should simply use
> that encoding.
> By deprecating the method and referencing to mergeTemplate
> (String,String,Context,Writer) you force a developer to duplicate the property.
> Suggestion:
> IF you decide to keep it deprecated, please extend the javadoc of the long
> mergeTemplate method eg:
> "
> The default encoding that Velocity uses to read template files is defined in
> the property input.encoding and defaults to ISO-8859-1.
> You can get the encoding that is currently configured in the Velocity runtime
> using
> "RuntimeSingleton.getString
> (RuntimeConstants.INPUT_ENCODING,RuntimeConstants.ENCODING_DEFAULT)"
> And you can paste that code for the second parameter of mergeTemplate.
