GreenHopper utilises JIM to generate a Sample Project. Certain fields of the project, for example projectName come from user input.

If the user inputs the project name "3 < 5", the resulting project will be named "3 & l t ; 5" (spaces removed).

This appears to be due to Velocity autoescaping the variables that come from our supplied Velocity context.

One way to get around this would be for JIM to allow us to specify if autoescaping should be on, or for which fields it should apply.
