title: VelocityEngineUtils has been removed in Spring 3.2 so what else to use?
body: <p>Today I have upgraded my entire Spring web application from using Spring <code>3.1.1</code> to Spring <code>3.2</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Most part of my existing app does not break except that in Spring <code>3.2</code>, the  </p>
  
  <pre><code>org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineUtils
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>class seems to be removed completely from the <strong>spring-context-3.2.0.RELEASE.jar</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I found the migration guide as in <a href="http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.2.x/spring-framework-reference/html/migration-3.2.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a> url.</p>
  
  <p>It stated that <code>org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineUtils</code> class has just been deprecated, but in fact it has been removed completely.</p>
  
  <p>Maybe I'm just mistaken, I would like to know if the VelocityEngineUtils class still exist in somewhere or if not, what is the alternative class that I can use. </p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> It seems the entire velocity package has been removed from Spring <code>3.2</code> so now even 
  <code>org.springframework.ui.velocity.VelocityEngineFactoryBean</code> does not exist. Are Spring walking away from Velocity?</p>
