Unfortunately, that's like saying if I don't like commons-logging, I shouldn't be forced to use it. Or if I don't like ognl, I shouldn't be forced to use it. You can't make every dependency in the library pluggable. The only reason I could see velocity becoming a barrier to your work with webwork would be if the dependency forced you to write velocity templates. It does not. If you never want to touch a velocity template ever with webwork, you don't have to. But you need the jar file because it is used behind the scenes for some work. If you're not being forced to use velocity templates, then webwork shouldn't be forced to remove the dependency on something it uses for its internals just because you don't happen to like it.
It sounds to me like you're confused about what the velocity dependency means. It doesn't mean you don't have a choice in presentation methods, because you do (Freemarker, JSP, velocity). If you want to use the ui tags, then you may want to know about velocity to understand the templates or provide your own. If you don't want to use them, then fine, don't, and you'll never be forced to even look at a velocity template. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of remigijus Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 4:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] WebWorks without velocity how to ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tracy Snell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 1:49 PM Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] WebWorks without velocity how to > > On Dec 11, 2003, at 1:22 PM, Jason Carreira wrote: > > > WW1 you can use without velocity, WW2 uses velocity for its UI tag > > templates.

You can say siple don't use it. Ok I already doing that. But we are tolking about ww2 design issues. It has to be clear and if it's addition, evryone should now that is not ww2 but just another additional feature. And as I see some people also rising some questions about use of freemaker instead of velocity. I think I'm not only one person who think in this way. Forget about what is already, done, think again is it better to have it as option or let's say in the core of ww. Try to be objective, don't be inertic (inertia - I don't know how to write it in english in correct way, I hope you eill undertand). > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. > Does SourceForge.net help you be more productive?
