[jira] Commented: (MCHANGES-176) Make ConversionTool available in the VelocityContext

["Dennis Lundberg (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHANGES-176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=252500#action_252500 ] 

Dennis Lundberg commented on MCHANGES-176:
------------------------------------------

Velocity Tools 2.0 require Java 5 and depends upon Velocity 1.6.2.
So this will have to wait at least until version 2.5 of the Changes Plugin.

> It would be very useful to have access to an instance of ConversionTool in the Velocity templace so that one can convert String to List for example.
> See : http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/tools/generic/ConversionTool.html
> In my special case, I want to pass a list of packages as a comma-separated String in the announceParameters as configuration of the changes plugin and convert this comma-separated String as a List in the Velocity template to iterate over to send e-mails containing the packages I deployed in addition to the changes report.
