[stringtemplate-interest] Unable to build java ST 3.2.1 using maven

[Jim Idle]

The tar ball on the stringtemplate web site has been corrected - you can now build directly from the source:

mvn install

Not explicitly, but then I always build from local source of course so I have not seen this.

Not sure if this is a bug or just that renderer's should not return null, but then if they get null, perhaps they should and perhaps the null should be just ignored or something. Anyway, report bugs by emailing a bug report to this list with as much detail as possible. Ter - is this a bug?

I built directly from the tar ball so this should all be hunky dory now.
