Running the examples
I needed Velocity for a new project (I had used it once briefly more than a
year ago) and I started as I usually do by trying to run the examples.
The existing .bat files will not work on Windows 2000 because they can't
create a proper path containing all the files in build/lib (and I'm not
really sure that is what you want anyway). So I thought it might be better
to just dump the .sh and .bat files in the various example directories and
just go with an ant file to run most of the examples. The provided file will
run app_example1, app_example2, event_example, logger_example, and
xmlapp_example (if you put xerces.jar from jdom into your build/lib
directory, it seems to be missing). Running the examples this way is
considerably cleaner than what is there now, easier to maintain, and it will
work cross-platform just like the build scripts do.
Note: This assumes you've already done "ant examples" from the build
directory in order to get everything built. Just cut out the following and
put it in the root directory of the project and type "ant -buildfile
examples.xml" to get it to run all five examples.

Thanks. Not a bad idea. We left the .bat files there to make it simple.
I thought we had it fixed - we had an external .bat file that would assemble
the classpath so it did work, but I'll have to check if its still there.
