Configuring the Velocity engine

Velocity1.java

// create the velocity engine
final VelocityEngine velocity = new VelocityEngine();

// set the logger to our Log4J root logger
velocity.setProperty("runtime.log.logsystem.log4j.logger", "root");

// use the resource loader as it's easy with Maven's path setup
velocity.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RESOURCE_LOADER, "classpath");
velocity.setProperty("classpath.resource.loader.class", ClasspathResourceLoader.class.getName());

// make sure to call init before using the engine
velocity.init();
