Description

With version 1.5, VelocityEngine.mergeTemplate() would throw VelocityException if I specified a grammar error in the template. This is what I was using my unit test to show that parsing would fail:

#macro #macro

Now in 1.6.1, it renders an empty string. Method:
velocityEngine.mergeTemplate(templateLocation, velocityContext, writer);
