Apache FreeMarker Generator

Introduction

The Apache Freemarker Generator project has quite a long and unsuccessful history

  • It started when I migrated one of my pet projects from Apache Velocity & Groovy to Apache Freemarker & Java many moons ago
  • I contributed the code 2022 to the Apache Software Foundation and became a committer to the Apache Freemarker project
  • During the next two years I worked on Apache Freemarker Generator, but I did not see a chance to have to code officially released
  • No public release, no users, no community to grow, another failed open source project
  • In March 2025 I became an Emeritus Member of the ASF
  • Since I frequently require Apache Freemarker Generator myself I decided to fork and further work it

Disclaimer - this is a fork of Apache Freemarker Generator and/but I did not change the package names so all of my private releases won't go to Maven Central
