| |
| <p> |
| |
| Velocity is easy to use! A quick way to get started is to skim the |
| references below, then look at the examples and source provided in the |
| distribution. <i>For developers writing web-based applications, the Web |
| Application Guide is highly recommended!</i> |
| |
| |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><a href="user-guide.html">User's Guide</a> - explains how to write Velocity templates |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><a href="developer-guide.html">Developer's Guide</a> - explains how to use Velocity inside Java programs |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><a href="vtl-reference-guide.html">VTL Reference</a> - concise syntax for Velocity Template Language (VTL) |
| </li> |
| |
| <li><a href="webapps.html">Web Application Guide</a> - web-based application techniques and |
| VelocityViewServlet tutorial |
| </li> |
| |
| </ul> |
| |
| |
| The best place to start is with the examples provided in the distribution, |
| and with the source code itself, which is included. |
| </p> |
| |
| |
| </div> |
| <a name="downloading_velocity"></a><div class="section"><h2>Downloading Velocity</h2> |
| <p> |
| You can download the latest release version of |
| <a href="http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#engine" class="externalLink">Velocity</a> |
| or <a href="http://velocity.apache.org/download.cgi#tools" class="externalLink">Velocity Tools</a> |
| from the main Apache Velocity download site. For Velocity itself, source is included with the binary download. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you want to download the latest source, you can do so via the Subversion (svn) |
| source control system, or download a complete |
| <a href="http://vc.apache.org/snapshots/velocity/" class="externalLink">nightly snapshot.</a> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Instructions for building Velocity from source can be found in the |
| <a href="build.html">Build</a> document. |
| </p> |
| |
| </div> |
| |
| <a name="api_documentation"></a><div class="section"><h2>API Documentation</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Our API documentation is available <a href="http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/apidocs/" class="externalLink">online</a>, |
| <a href="api/index.html">as part of the distribution package</a>, and of course, you can generate it |
| yourself from the included source code. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you would like to create a full set |
| of detailed API documentation for Velocity, go to the |
| <code>build</code> directory and run: |
| </p> |
| |
| <div class="source"><pre> |
| ant javadocs |
| </pre></div> |
| |
| <p> |
| The docs will be found in the <code>/bin/apidocs/</code> directory. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| <b>Note:</b> Velocity uses the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/" class="externalLink">Apache Ant</a> |
| build tool for all code and documentation generation, so you will need to have it |
| installed. Velocity requires at least Apache Ant 1.6. |
