Say I have the following code in SomeAction :

public Map getSystemPropertiesHtml() {
...
}

And then in my velocity template I declare :

#* @vtlvariable name="action" type="SomeAction" *#

$action.getSystemPropertiesHtml()

$action.systemPropertiesHtml

neither usage will be found.

However, it will work if I use a set directive:

#* @vtlvariable name="action" type="SomeAction" *#
#set($foo = $action.getSystemPropertiesHtml())

$action.getSystemPropertiesHtml()

$action.systemPropertiesHtml

This doesn't seem to be the only way to trigger it (occasionally it randomly _just_ works); it appears the indexing of usages within velocity files is quite flaky and broken.
