BeansBinding ELProperty as simple template engine
I just read an article about using adding EL support on your projects and I was looking for a nice alternative to Velocity anyways.
I know EL basics from BeansBinding, which I use in most of my UI projects. EL itself looks pretty interesting, but, well, sort of complicated. Even finding the proper jar files seems to be a problem, or at least “another of life’s obscure mysteries” and using EL for a simple search and replace example implies implementing some internals. I was looking for something that I can just use.
Luckily, the first comment mentions the ELProperty class from BeansBinding, and that jar is just a few mouse clicks away, so I thought I give it a try…and…well…it works
