I'm very pleased with the first few tests of Velocity, the template engine from the Apache Jakarta project. I am developing a commercial application where users generate web sites (among other formats) from their newly created data mash-ups, and Velocity templates are just the thing to allow the maximum flexibility with minimal knowledge.
Most users will use one of the template sets that will ship with the product, but there are always those tweakers out there who want crazy things from their HTML. For them (and my massive in-house design team), there is VTL... and a plugin API... and I should stop here.
