Answer 1

VelocityEngine velocityEngin = new VelocityEngine();
velocityEngin.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RESOURCE_LOADER, "classpath");
velocityEngin.setProperty("classpath.resource.loader.class", ClasspathResourceLoader.class.getName());

velocityEngin.init();

Template template = velocityEngin.getTemplate("nameOfTheTemplateFile.vtl");

you could use the above code to set the properties for velocity template. You can then give the name of the tempalte file when initializing the Template and it will find if it exists in the classpath.

All the above classes come from package org.apache.velocity*
