I have a Maven project that I built using Netbeans 7.2 and runs on Glassfish 3. I thought I would try my luck at upgraded from Netbeans 7.2 to 7.3 yesterday but the transition has caused an error with Apache Velocity. If I run it in 7.2 it works fine, If I run it in 7.3 I get the following errors
SEVERE: There was an unspecified exception whilst sending an email

The actual line of code that triggers the error is:
org.apache.velocity.app.Velocity.evaluate(context, writer, "Velocity log Tag", emailTemplate);
The line that I find interesting is:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: velocity.log (Permission denied)
I was reading some posts and the Velocity docs and it appears that this error might be caused when velocity is trying to log to a file that it does not have permission to write to.
