Hello,
I am working on a plugin myplugin that supports a custom webproject and perspective.
XHTML, CSS en .JS have an adapted syntax.
Code templates need to be provided that must be stored in the plugin in templates/templates.xml.
In templates.xml resides:
<templates>
<template autoinsert="true"
contextTypeId="html_tag"
description="[Description]"
id="org.eclipse.jst.jsf.ui.newHtmltag"
name="testTag"
enabled="true"
context="html_tag" >
Some template content...
</template>
</templates>
In plugin.xml we have:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates">
<include file="templates/templates.xml"/>
</extension>
This template does indeed show up in Preferences > Web > HTML files > Editor > Templates under context=HTML Tag.
What I do not understand is: how can I introduce a new HTML context 'CE_HTML' where my new templates will reside under? Changes/additions allowed only in myplugin.
I tried this in plugin.xml:
<!-- Templates -->
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates">
<contextType
name="%CE_HTML_context_type_Extension_Element.name"
class="org.eclipse.wst.html.ui.internal.templates.TemplateContextTypeHTML"
id="html_ce">
</contextType>
<include
file="templates/htmldefault-templates2.xml"
translations="$nl$/templates/htmldefault-templates.properties">
</include>
</extension>
with templates in htmldefault-templates2.xml but nothing shows up.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

Not as much as you think. Besides, our template proposal computers
won't be processing the templates from your contexts anyway.

It's not implemented for those editors since the editors are built in a
way that their viewer configurations and supported content type can be
changed on the fly. The Templates View is locked down in one content
type from the start (possibly before we've figured out which content
type is in the editor), and that's all it ever gets to show.
