Option to use Apache Velocity in egroups files

[mdeboer]

It would be great to have the Velocity Template Language from Apache Velocity available to us in egroups files.

The syntax would be left as is but simply parsed first by Apache Velocity. This would mean that macro's as implemented now can be removed and replaced with a variable in the template. This would allow you to manipulate the output of a macro (say current file name or project directory), for example stripping the extension (or compound extension .component.scss) yourself.

Templates would be much more flexible and VTL seems to be easy enough to implement.
