| <a name="what_is_velocity"></a><div class="section"><h2>What is Velocity?</h2> |
| |
| <p> Velocity is a Java-based template engine. It permits anyone to use a simple yet |
| powerful template language to reference objects defined in Java code. </p> |
| |
| <p> When Velocity is used for web development, Web designers can work in parallel with |
| Java programmers to develop web sites according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) |
| model, meaning that web page designers can focus solely on creating a site that looks |
| good, and programmers can focus solely on writing top-notch code. Velocity |
| separates Java code from the web pages, making the web site more maintainable over its |
| lifespan and providing a viable alternative to |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/" class="externalLink">Java Server Pages</a> (JSPs) or |
| <a href="http://www.php.net/" class="externalLink">PHP</a>. </p> |
| |
| <p> Velocity's capabilities reach well beyond the realm of the web; for example, it can |
| be used to generate SQL, PostScript and XML (see |
| <a href="anakia.html">Anakia</a> for more information on XML |
| transformations) from templates. It can be used either as a standalone utility for |
| generating source code and reports, or as an integrated component of other systems. |
| For instance, Velocity provides template services for the |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/" class="externalLink">Turbine</a> web application |
| framework, together resulting in a view engine facilitating development of web |
| applications according to a true MVC model. </p> |

| <a name="where_do_i_get_releases"></a><div class="section"><h2>Where do I get releases?</h2> |
| |
| <p> The current stable release version is version 1.5. </p> |
| |
| <p> The release distribution is available as a combined source/binary distribution in |
| <code>tar.gz</code> and |
| <code>zip</code> formats, and can be downloaded through the |
| <a href="http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi" class="externalLink"> |
| Apache Mirror system</a>. </p> |
| |
| <p> The Velocity jars are also available through the |
| <a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/velocity/" class="externalLink">central Maven |
| repository</a>. </p> |
| |
| <p> Older releases are archived at the |

| |
| <a name="where_do_i_get_nightly_snapshots"></a><div class="section"><h2>Where do I get nightly snapshots?</h2> |
| |
| <p> Nightly snapshots of the Velocity subversion source code tree can be found |
| on our <a href="http://vc.apache.org/snapshots/velocity/" class="externalLink">nightly snapshot site</a>. </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Caveat!</b> These snapshots are generated automatically from the project source code repository. As |
| this is our live development workspace, there are no guarantees as to what you will |
| find there, although we do our best to maintain a buildable source tree. If you are |
| looking for the stable supported release, please use the current release of |
| Velocity. </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Please be aware that these snapshots are not official |
| releases of Apache Velocity software. They are provided for |
| developer convenience only!</b></p> |
| |
| <p> If you are willing to risk getting dirty, we invite you to try the nightly snapshot to |
| see the current state of affairs. (and help out!) |
