#1 Output of todo and method-comments doesn't go to file

[John Munsch]

I ran both the todo and method-comments examples via
Ant and although both specify a .txt file for output,
and that file was created, neither actually had the
output in it. In both cases I saw the text appear via
stdout in Ant:

method-comments:
[echo] Writing build/examples/method-comments.txt

[vdoclet] * vdoclet.Generator.getOutputDir
[vdoclet] Get the output directory

[vdoclet] * vdoclet.Generator.getContext
[vdoclet] Get the evaluation-context used by this
generator

[vdoclet] * vdoclet.Generator.setAttribute
[vdoclet] Add something to the Generator's
evaluation-context

...

But that same text did not actually appear in
method-comments.txt. Instead the file was empty. The
same results were obtained for the todo task. Does the
"out" attribute of the task not work?

I would really really much rather use this than
XDoclet, it definitely seems less complex and I've
stuck Velocity into a couple of things already when I
just needed a quick template system so I'm comfortable
with it.

I went ahead and figured it out myself. In the Main.java
file the following:

generator.eval( _controlTemplateResourceName,
new OutputStreamWriter(System.out) );

should read like this:

generator.eval( _controlTemplateResourceName,
_controlOutput);

Then the output goes to the specified file as it should.
