I split the transform properties file into two: frameworkTransforms and applicationTransforms.
I changed the try-catch logic so that a failure to load one class doesn't stop the whole process.

> =================================================
> Ftl transforms loading in org.ofbiz.base.util.template.FreeMarkerWorker is not really flexible at the moment.
> Now classes to load are hard-coded, like this:
> ftlTransforms.put("ofbizUrl", loader.loadClass("org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizUrlTransform").newInstance());
> ftlTransforms.put("ofbizContentUrl", loader.loadClass("org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizContentTransform").newInstance());
> ftlTransforms.put("ofbizCurrency", loader.loadClass("org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizCurrencyTransform").newInstance());
> ftlTransforms.put("ofbizAmount", loader.loadClass("org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizAmountTransform").newInstance());
> So, if we need to add new class we need to recompile all the component. This is not right way, I think.
> I suggest to create separate properties file, like:
> ofbizUrl=org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizUrlTransform
> ofbizContentUrl=org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizContentTransform
> ofbizCurrency=org.ofbiz.webapp.ftl.OfbizCurrencyTransform
> and load them using UtilProperties class.

> freemarkerworker.properties file is attached
> This could live in frameworker/webapp/config as a suggession.
