Hi Richard, a few minutes ago, I checked in all my changes to the EJB cartridge. See the andromda-cvs mailing list for details.
To sum up: * I moved script processing from ant task to cartridges. * I added the possibility for Velocity macro libraries inside a cartridge. * I removed copy-paste macros from the EJB templates. * I added "null" parameters to the create()-calls in car-rental-system to make it compile. I enabled the macro stuff because I think there are several things that should not be done in the Java helper class. However, I agree with you that some of them should. So, feel free to move some of the macros into Java if you think this is feasible. Cheers...
