Description

The annotation processor, which is currently recommended to be used, is not exactly the nicest to use for anything slightly more dynamic (since variable substitution is hard). For this reason, we should document the Velocity plugin JSON file in order to make the manual inclusion possible.

I also think we should remove (or at least inline) any mentions of the AP for generating that file and instead make manually writing the file the preferred way.

Research direction

Start by locating the documentation pages that describe the Velocity plugin JSON file and references to the annotation processor. Document the file format well enough to support manual inclusion, and revise or inline guidance so manual authoring is preferred; the issue is done when both parts are reflected consistently in the docs.
