Regarding the issue TRUNK-5119,
https://openmrs.atlassian.net/issues?filter=10665&selectedIssue=TRUNK-5119
I checked if velocity versions are already updated though out the project. And found they are already updated.

  1. Velocity version: 2.5-SNAPSHOT (already beyond 2.0/2.1)
  2. Java requirement: Java 8+ (documented in README)
  3. SLF4J logging: Already integrated in the parent

To maximize backward compatibility of Velocity 2.5 with Velocity 1.x, I have include the 4 lines in your Velocity configuration as mentioned in this link in the main folder velocity-engine\velocity-engine-core\src\main\resources\org\apache\velocity\runtime\default\velocity.properties :
I also modified velocimacro.enable_bc_mode = true as it was conflicting with the above configuration.
I have tested locally to ensure build was success.
