Downloads¶

You can download sources and binaries for all Apache Velocity projects from here.

Mirror Selection¶

The currently selected mirror is https://dlcdn.apache.org/. If you encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that should be available.

You may also consult the complete list of mirrors.

Verifying integrity of downloaded files¶

It is essential that you verify the integrity of all downloaded files using the PGP and/or SHA signatures.

The PGP links download the OpenPGP compatible signature from our main site. The SHA links download the checksum from the main site. None of these should be downloaded from the mirrors.

Here are the Apache Velocity PGP KEYS used to sign the files.

Production releases¶

These releases are considered stable and suitable for production.

Velocity Engine 2.4.1¶

Be sure to check the release notes and the dependencies.

Modules¶

• velocity-engine-core, the core templating engine
• velocity-engine-scripting, the JSR223 scripting engine
• spring-velocity-support, Spring framework integration support classes of the engine
• velocity-engine-examples, a zip file of simple examples for the engine
• velocity-custom-parser-example, a pom.xml example demonstrating parser customization

Inclusion as a maven dependency¶

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.velocity</groupId>
  <artifactId>velocity-engine-core</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.1</version>
</dependency>

Replace velocity-engine-core with velocity-engine-scripting to include the scripting engine, or with spring-velocity-support to include the Spring integration support. Both will include velocity-engine-core as a dependency.

Examples¶

Velocity Tools 3.1¶

Modules¶

• velocity-tools-generic, the generic tools
• velocity-tools-view, the view tools, meant to be used in a J2EE webapp
• velocity-tools-view-jsp, the view tools JSP extension

Inclusion as a maven dependency¶

Use one of:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.velocity.tools</groupId>
  <artifactId>velocity-tools-generic</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.velocity.tools</groupId>
  <artifactId>velocity-tools-view</artifactId>
  <version>3.1</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.velocity.tools</groupId>
  <artifactId>velocity-tools-view-jsp</artifactId>
  <version>3.0</version>
</dependency>

Each of those modules will include the previous one as a dependency. But note that velocity-tools-view-jsp is still in 3.0.

Older Releases¶

Older versions of the Apache Velocity projects are available from our archive site, and documented here:

• Engine old versions documentation
• Tools old versions documentation

Unless otherwise stated, the most current release of the Apache Velocity projects is considered the best release and should be used for development and new projects. These older releases are mainly for maintenance purposes and archaeological interests.

Source Code Repository¶

You can download the source code to each Apache Velocity project directly from our apache gitbox repositories or from our github mirrors (which are preferable if you intend to open a pull request). Here you get logs, change histories and all the information necessary to follow the development process. If you are interested in the project development, please join the Apache Velocity development list.
