Yes, but at some point, many Velocity users will "ship" an app with
"finished" templates that the customer won't modify.  At that time, it
can make a lot of sense to just keep your templates in the classpath
or a non-classpath jar.  Guessing from user examples and questions,
the ClasspathResourceLoader is one of the more frequently used
loaders.  The JarResourceLoader is probably the least-used one.
Personally, i use the WebappResourceLoader from VelocityTools most.
