<section name="Velocity and Development Tools">
<p>
We have three contributions from the user community to help make developing with
Velocity easier and more convenient.
</p>
<subsection name="IntelliJ IDEA">
<p>
Rickard Oberg (rickard@xpedio.com) has contributed templates for the
<a href="http://www.intellij.com/">IntelliJ IDEA</a> IDE.
</p>
<p>
They can be found
<a href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity/contrib/tools/intellij/">
here</a> in the Velocity CVS, or can be found in the /contrib/tools directory
of the source tree.
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="UltraEdit Editor">
<p>
Herve Guidetti (Herve.Guidetti@idbsoft.ch) contributed a 'word.txt' addition
(with tweaks and comments by Wido Hillmann (wido.hillmann@epost.de) )
for the <a href="http://www.ultraedit.com/">UltraEdit</a> programmers editor.
</p>
<p>
It can be found
<a href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity/contrib/tools/ultraedit/">
here</a> in the Velocity CVS, or can be found in the /contrib/tools directory
of the source tree.
</p>
<p>
To add this to your UltraEdit configuration :
<ol>
<li> Go into UltraEdit home directory.</li>
<li> Add the content of the file to the end of your word.txt file. </li>
<li> Modify the number on the first line (/L9 in this case), so that it matches
your word.txt definition. (it's incremental)</li>
<li> Edit a .vm template with UltraEdit. You should now have syntax coloring
for Velocimacros.</li>
</ol>
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="JEdit">
<p>
Saimon Moore (smoore@serikat.es) contributed a Velocity mode for the java-based
editor <a href="http://www.jedit.org">JEdit</a>, and can be found here in
<a href="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-velocity/contrib/tools/jedit/">
velocity.xml</a>.
</p>
<p>
To install, add the velocity.xml to one of your 'mode' directories,
and add the following to that directory's catalog file :
<pre>
&lt;MODE NAME="velocity" FILE="velocity.xml"
FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.vw" /&gt;
</pre>
and restart JEdit. If there are any problems with installation,
see the JEdit documentation about 'Modes'.
