Gradle Velocity Plugin

Gradle Velocity Plugin is an open-source tool made for the Gradle project. It helps you work with Velocity preprocessing on any system where Java is up and running.

What Does It Do?

This plugin brings Apache’s Velocity template engine right into Gradle. To get started, you'll need to set up a basic configuration that will turn your src/main/velocity files into build/generated-sources/velocity. Sounds simple, right?

How to Use It

If you want to use this plugin, just download the latest version from Softpedia, save it on your computer, and unzip the file. Here’s a quick example of how to use it:

buildscript {
dependencies {
compile 'org.anarres.gradle:gradle-velocity-plugin:1.0.0'
}
}

apply plugin: 'velocity'

velocity {
context {
// Set up a HashMap with your context values.
}
}

Advanced Usage Example

You can also do some more complex things like this:

task('customVpp', type: VelocityTask) {
// Add your custom task details here.
}

Compatibility and Downloads

This program is built entirely in Java and works with the latest versions of Gradle. So whether you're on Linux or any other OS with both Gradle and Java Runtime Environment (JRE), you’re good to go!

The plugin has been tested successfully across several Linux distributions on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. You can grab it as a universal source archive too! This lets you tweak it for whatever platform or operating system you’re using.
