Thanks for ongoing input.

No can do ( getCause() ) for 1.5, unfortunately. Though I agree it would be
useful.  (as
would using JDK regexps, and lots more).

Sure can do. If you are interested on how, look at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/email/trunk/src/java/org/apache/commons/mail/EmailException.java?rev=279313&view=markup
which commons-email stol^Wborrowed from
org.apache.commons.collections.FunctorException. There is no problem
to implement the same code in VelocityException (or simply extend from
the c-c class if we have commons-collections as a prerequisite
anyway. :-) )

It's important Velocity 1.5 remain a drop-in replacement for all users.

Some of those users might have 1.3 at runtime.  We need to continue
supporting this.  It's not cool to insist that a user upgrade their app

server just to accomodate a single library.

This suggestion (1.4 compiletime) only works for plugin code that will not
be executed by default at runtime.
