[Modelj-developer] Re: making first letter lower case

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

You should be able to access it the same way you access the other 
StringUtils classes, by using the $strings modifier.. eg)

$strings.capitalizeFirstLetter($bean.name)

Or if you made a new method uncapitalizeFirstLetter() method:

$strings.uncapitalizeFirstLetter($bean.name)

I'm not totally sure though, I've never subclasses it myself :) You could 
always edit the StringUtils source-code directly and repackage the 
velocity.jar.. at one pointed I wanted to do the same thing (make first 
character lowercase), but I compromised and just made the whole string 
lowercase..
