| Velocity |
| -------- |
| |
| Welcome to Velocity. Velocity is a general purpose template engine written in |
| Java. For more information about Velocity, please look at the HTML documentation |
| in the docs/ directory. |
| |
| Here is a description of what each of the top level directories contains. Please |
| consult the documentation in each of the lower level directories for information |
| that is specific to their contents. |
| |
| bin/ This is a temporary build directory. |
| build/ This is where the build scripts live. |
| docs/ This is where the documentation lives. |
| examples/ This is where the examples live. |
| src/ This is where all of the source code to Velocity lives. |
| |
| REQUIREMENTS |
| ------------ |
| |
| The Java 2 SDK is required to build Velocity. |
| |
| BUILDING VELOCITY |
| ----------------- |
| |
| In order to get started with Velocity, you must first build it. To do so, cd into the |
| build/ directory and execute the platform-specific build script. |
| |
| Unix: |
| ./build-velocity.sh |
| |
| Win32: |
| build-velocity.bat |
| |
| This will create a bin/ directory containing the Velocity .jar file. Be sure to |
| update your classpath to include Velocity's .jar file. |
| |
| TRYING THE EXAMPLE |
| ------------------ |
| |
| After building Velocity cd into the examples/ directory and run test.sh. This |
| will generate a file named output which is the result of the test.wm input. |
