How about extending VelocityTemplateService#onInit()?
There you have access to VelocityEngine. Perhaps you can register the tool with the engine? This is
more a Velocity question though so you might want to check on their user list.
Kind regards

from what I have understand there's no possibility to add tool to global
context in Click

I don't think Velocity Tools works by only configuring it. See here:

So Tools won't be available in Click since Click doesn't use VelocityView or
any Tools specific
APIs. That is my understanding of Tools anyway.

You mean Context.renderTemplate?
you still provide the model so can add the tools you want there or through a
utility method?
Kind regards

This is how we do it now, but I want to add tool to global context (ie make it
available in all
templates)

Answering you question, configuring Velocity tools can be done via xml,
property file or java
code (see http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/config.html)
I've tried 1 and 2 but wasn't able to make it work

Hi,
I've never used Velocity Tools. How does one integrate the tools in standalone
mode of Velocity?
Is it enough to simply configure it inside velocity.properties or is some other
configuration
needed?
However since it looks like most Velocity Tools are POJO's, you could do the
following in your
BorderPage:
public BorderPage() {
addModel("esc", new EscapeTool());
}
Kind regards

Hello
how can I add EscapeTool to global velocity context?
I've tried adding velocity.properties to WEB-INF directory with content:
tools.toolbox = request
tools.data.version = 2.0
tools.data.version.type = number
tools.application.esc = org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.EscapeTool
and tools.xml with content:
<tools>
<data key="version" type="number" value="2.0"/>
<toolbox scope="application">
<tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.EscapeTool" key="esc"/>
</toolbox>
</tools>
and still get $esc undefined in templates
