5.9. Template engines

Patterns can be written to make decisions depending on the values and properties of these context objects. MetaFactory uses Apaches Freemarker and Velocity template engines to create patterns and snippets which generate the desired code.

Because Freemarker snippets have more advanced features, Metafactory recommends the use of Freemarker over Velocity.
