Velocity macros in a theme are not recompiled until the server is restarted. This is normally not an issue on production environments, but this can be annoying for theme developers. To address this need, the property
velocity.engine.resource.manager.cache.enabled
has been extended to also control the loading of macros. Set the property to false to disable caching macros.
