Description

When using using Log4J to handle Velocity logging, many of the internal logging
messages generated by the VelocityEngine are too verbose. Below is some sample
output when logging to Log4J. It seems that much of this information should be
at DEBUG prioriry and not INFO priority. In fact, it's arguable that all of
these messages (except for the ERROR one) should be at DEBUG priority.
