Hi all,

Seems like more people are in favour of the #eval approach. Can someone tell me 
how I can contribute to the Velocity project by including this new directive 
amongst its standard set. i.e. how do i make it part of the project once I have 
written the code and all.

Regards,

at present you should use the RenderTool or ViewRenderTool found in the
velocity-tools project.  it is for situations like this that those tools
were written.

I agree with Christoph.  A ResourceLoader for turning strings into Template
objects seems unnecessary and "hackish".   IMHO, the proper solution is to
either write an #eval directive or to use one of the already written and
supported tools.
