What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger. Ok, but seriously, dead means no community. When a project's community dies, Apache puts it into the Attic project. So pretty much any non-Attic project is not dead. Velocity has both a large user community that supports each other both on this list and stackoverflow.com and a small developer community and thus will not be going into the Attic anytime soon. Lack of activity in this case merely means that no one is highly motivated to work on the next version much because the current releases (Engine 1.7 and Tools 2.0) are great for most any templating need. The projects have reached a high level of stability and maturity.
