XDoclet moving to Velocity

As Jeff has correctly pointed out, XDoclet will start on a major refactoring to Velocity after the next release (in a month or so we hope). XDoclet 1.1.2 has 17000 downloads and many contributors. vDoclet is the third tool in its category (EJBGen, XDoclet and vDoclet). My question is: Do we need another one? Aslak Hellesoy from the Velocity mail list
Aslak is encouraging the VDoclet team (a team of 1?) to join forces with the XDoclet team. XDoclet is preparing to drop the weird XML templates and adopt Velocity as it's templating language. That is great news. Those XML templates are butt ugly.
