Hibernate version: 3

Hi all

I added $date support to velocity templates of my hibernate tools, by adding the following code on TemplateHelper.java (hibernate-tools jar):

...
import org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DateTool;
...
...

getContext().put("date", new DateTool());

(at the end of the "init" method)
Then I regenerated the hibernate-tools.jar, and it worked!

Unfortunately i'm not an hibernate developer, but if any developer read this post, i think it's a nice feature to add on the next release.

Regards, Fernando

put it in jira with a patch and i'll consider it
