108		-So now that you have template input defined, you will want to be able to use them. The name use used in the "name" attribute of your input declaration will be the name of the variable in your Velocity context. For instance, in the example above, the Velocity variable "linkToWonderProjects" will be bound to the boolean value corresponding to the user's selection, and can be used just like any other velocity variable. The Apache project provides a [[Velocity reference guide>>http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/vtl-reference-guide.html]].

132		-In addition to variables inside of Velocity templates, you can also use template variables in folder and file names. However, because $ is not allowed on some filesystems, we instead surround the variable names with "" (for instance $someVariable would be someVariable in the filename or path). As an example, the Wonder Application template has an input named "basePackage" (of type Package), which creates a magic variable named "basePackage//folder" (where the dots are turned into slashes), and the Source folder on the filesystem is named "Wonder Application/Sources///basePackage//folder//".

However, because $ is not allowed on some filesystems, we instead surround the variable names with "" (for instance $someVariable would be "someVariable" in the filename or path). As an example, the template above has an input named "basePackage" (of type Package) which, as we learned above, creates two variables: "basePackage" and "basePackage//folder". Since we are going to be using this variable to name (and define the path) of a folder in the Sources directory, we need to use the alternate version of the variable. Create a new folder in the Sources directory of the project templaet and instead of using "${{basePackage_folder}}{{/basePackage_folder}}" as the file name, we must use "basePackage//folder".
