        report.process(context, out);

        Log.debug(GenerateDocxReport.class,"creation BDC end");

        }

1. code run well in a single java project
2. code dont' run in a full maven projet

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Hi yohan,

It's a really strange problem?

We use maven for our samples too and I have never seen this problem?

I suggets you to try our sample docx+velocity :

https://code.google.com/p/xdocreport/source/browse/?repo=samples&name=xdocreport
-samples-1.0.2#git%2Fsamples%2Ffr.opensagres.xdocreport.samples.docxandvelocity

Tell us if you have problem with this maven project.

Thank's

Regards Angelo

Hi angelo,

thanks for the fast  response

i think i a found the issue, my maven project contain 2 velocity.jar 
version in libs: velocity1.5 and velocity1.7

if i remove the 1.5 version it's works.

i will check the pom to understand where is the 1.5 version comming from

thanks

Hi yohan,

I close this issue but it's interesting to know that XDocReport crashes if you 
have several Velocity JARs with different version in your classpath.
