CDT new Project Template Registration [message #655108]

Hello

I try to develop custom project wizard for CDT in Eclipse Helios. I have followed instructions in the CDT Plug-in Developer Guide and tried to register the "Symbian" example provided by the guide book. All seems to be ok, I run the Launch an Eclipse application button from the Plugin environment and the Eclipse starts, but my template is not listed in the newProject Wizard for some reason.

Well I am doing obviously something wrong here. Could you please get me back on the road?

The steps I have done to create/register the plugin follows:

1. Create an empty plug-in project.
2.Open the Dependencies page and Added org.eclipse.cdt.core and org.eclipse.cdt.ui plug-ins from the list.
2. In the Extensions page Added org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates
3.Right-click on the newly added extension, and select New > template
4.Specified the id attribute "MPCProjectWizard.template3"
5.Added folder to the project named "Templates". This folder includes tree files "template.cpp","template.h","template.xml"
6.Specify the location of the template XML file, "Templates/template.xml"
7.Specify a filterPattern "|" .
8.Specify the project type "org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.buildArtefactType.exe"
9.Specify the pagesAfterTemplateSelectionProvider, ""
10.launch a runtime workbench and invoke the New Project wizard to check that the template added is listed. The think is that the template is not listed.

As I mentioned There is something obviously wrong how I did this. Please could you correct me.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Here is the list plugin.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.cdt.core.templates">
<template
filterPattern=".*"
id="MPCProjectWizard.template3"
location="Templates/template.xml"
projectType="org.eclipse.cdt.build.core.buildArtefactType.exe ">
</template>
</extension>
</plugin>

and here the example template from guide book
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<template type="ProjTempl" version="1.0" supplier="Symbian" revision="1.0" author="Bala Torati"

hi,
not sure that question still be actual for you,
but I've started to learn Eclipse templates for creating own wizards and met similar problems.
I was able to resolve them for myself.
so, try to apply next changes to provided template xml source
1. do not apply [7.Specify a filterPattern "|" .] item -leave filter empty - you will see your wizard in New projects category.
in general it's already enough to see project.

2. remove (or comment out) part of xml related to [<process type="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.NewManagedProject ">]
This item could be specific for my proejct, but with this item i faced with error about mismatching targetType

Hope this information will be useful for you.
tried my solution with Eclipse Juno CDT version.
good luck
