<blockquote>
<p>
This document is for bragging about all of Turbine's features and inherent
coolness. Turbine is well over 200 classes and contains a boat load of
features and API's. Many of these can also be used indepently of Turbine.
Almost all of the default implementations can be easily overridden with
your own implementations. Turbine also has extensive Javadoc documentation
for nearly all of the classes as well as in-code comments. At the risk
of sounding snooty <smile>, Turbine is by far the leader of complex
web application development tools. No other systems come close to being
as cleanly implemented and executed. It clearly has been developed by the
people who do web applications on a daily basis and have to constantly
solve the same problems over and over again.
</p>
<p>
<strong>All of these features have been made possible thanks to the over
20 developers (and growing all the time!) who have <a href="contributors.html">
contributed</a> to Turbine over the last 2+ years.</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Integration with template systems: Velocity, WebMacro, Cocoon,
FreeMarker, JSP, ECS</li>
