I put a list strings as validTypes in velocity. When I do :

#if (${validTypes}.contains("aaa"))
  // do something
#end

it throws an error. But when I do :

#foreach (${validType} in ${validTypes})
   ${validType}
#end

it works fine. Do I need to use velocity tools for this? How do I use it in an eclipse plugin? Are there any work around without using velocity tools?
