    Hmmm, that is right. My mistake. However... are those old EOF
    libraries going to be around much longer? They are not used for
    anything else. They are not part of an OS X install. That is how I
    stumbled across this. I'd guess they only come with the Dev Tools.
    Does anyone know?

    I was expecting that there would be a multitude of template engines
    for Java. What should be needed (based on, oh, about 10 seconds of
    thought) is some glue to read in args, load the models, and pass it
    all off to a template engine. Between the EOF stuff and the template
    engine, there should not be too much left to do.
