Hi,

I think I was not precise enough with my question. I know how to assemble my plugin and bring it to run inside Roller.

For more comfort in templates I want to provide Velocity macros (http://people.apache.org/~henning/velocity/html/ch07.html) with my plugin and was looking for a way how to make them available easily.

It seems that roller-custom.vm inside WEB-INF/velocity is the place to put custom Velocity macros but that would mean one has to edit macros itself and the cannot be automatically provided by the plugin. Is there some Classloader magic how this can be done?
