Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-445:
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Hi Colbert,
If you wish to have a full featured language, there are plenty of those
available out there. Velocity's aim is to be the "V" in MVC. As such, it has
from the beginning been an explicit goal of the Velocity developers to avoid
letting VTL become a scripting language. Integration with a scripting language
is a blatant step over that line, IMO. You and others are, of course, free to
work on this and share it, but it is extremely unlikely that we would accept a
patch for this into the core library.
peace,
nate

> I do some advanced macro preprocessing using Velocity. I find that
> Velocity's macro language should be more powerful than what it is. I miss
> the capabilities of a full featured language. I wish that velocity macro
> language should be comparable with Perl or Jython or BeanShell.
> I strongly suggest that Velocity be reengineered to support a complete macro
> processing language like Perl or Jython or BeanShell (Jython or BeanShell are
> already 100% Java). The old macro processing language would disappear,
> insteand we would enter a scripting language like Jython or BeanShell.
> This is necessary in order that Velocity be used as a full-featured macro
> preprocessing utility.
