You need to execute Anakia via the Ant task. What you are doing here
is processing Velocity via normal java application.

## BTW, I think you can get it to work by putting
root.getRootElement() in the Context as "root"

Many of the Jakarta project sites (including Velocity, of course :)) use Anakia.
## Although there is a movement towards XSLT.
