Velocity and Development Tools
> We have three contributions from the user community to help make developing with Velocity easier and more convenient.
> IntelliJ IDEA
> Rickard Oberg (rickard@xpedio.com) has contributed templates for the IntelliJ IDEA IDE. They can be found here in the Velocity CVS, or can be found in the /contrib/tools directory of the source tree.
> UltraEdit Editor
> Herve Guidetti (Herve.Guidetti@idbsoft.ch) contributed a 'word.txt' addition (with tweaks and comments by Wido Hillmann (wido.hillmann@epost.de) ) for the UltraEdit programmers editor. It can be found here in the Velocity CVS, or can be found in the /contrib/tools directory of the source tree. To add this to your UltraEdit configuration : Go into UltraEdit home directory. Add the content of the file to the end of your word.txt file. Modify the number on the first line (/L9 in this case), so that it matches your word.txt definition. (it's incremental) Edit a .vm template with UltraEdit. You should now have syntax coloring for Velocimacros.
> JEdit
> > Saimon Moore (smoore@serikat.es) contributed a Velocity mode for the java-based editor JEdit, and can be found here in velocity.xml. To install, add the velocity.xml to one of your 'mode' directories, and add the following to that directory's catalog file :
> >     <MODE NAME="velocity"  FILE="velocity.xml"
> >     		       FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.vw" />
> and restart JEdit. If there are any problems with installation, see the JEdit documentation about 'Modes'.
> TextPad
> Jeff Linwood (jeff@greenninja.com) created a simple syntax definition for Velocity for the TextPad editor, which can be found here.
> Emacs
> Brian Leonard (brian@brainslug.org) contributed a minor mode that does font-locking (syntax coloring) of VTL in emacs. As a minor mode, it insinuates itself into whatever major mode you're using, so you don't lose the major mode's goodness. It can be found here.
