You would be much better served by using DVSL.

I am using Anakia along with JDOM and Velocity to transform my XML

HTML file. Below, is the code I wrote to make the transformation 
happen. But, it's not utilizing
the AnakiaTask class. How do I utilize the AnikiaTask class to convert 
XML to HTML using Velocity
template? I see how the it's done in the build.xml file (Anikia 
example). But, how do you do it
programatically? Please, respond. Thanks....

assumption:
==========
xml file
===========
xml tags and info
.vm file
======
contains velocity code and html tags
html file
======
result of transforming xml file to .vm file
code for conversion
===================
Writer writer = null;

try
{
/*
 *  and now call init
 */
Velocity.init();

/*
 * build a Document from our xml
 */
SAXBuilder builder;
Document root = null;
try
{
builder = new SAXBuilder(  "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" );
root = builder.build(resultsFileName);
}
catch( Exception ee)
{
System.out.println("Exception building Document : " + ee);
return;
}
/*
 * now, make a Context object and populate it.
 */
VelocityContext context = new VelocityContext();
context.put("root", root);
/*
 *  make a writer, and merge the template 'against' the context
 */
Template template = Velocity.getTemplate(velocityTemplateFileName);

writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.out));
template.merge( context , writer);
}
catch( Exception e )
{
   System.out.println("Exception : " + e);
}
finally
{
if ( writer != null)
{
try
{
writer.flush();
writer.close();
}
catch( Exception ee )
{
System.out.println("Exception : " + ee );
}
}
}
