So I was looking at the NewReportWizard and noticed that there were
entries for Custom Template choices, via WizardCustomTemplatePage.java
but all the code is commented out. Was the intent to support user
provided templates and the feature didn't make 2.0? Note, I filed an
enhancement request a while back for this support 93996 ( I would check
status but bugzilla is offline at the moment).
Any ideas? Thanks for update.

Another question for ya, How do I contribute my templates to the "new
Report" wizard. Is there an extension point I can use or something like
that currently?

You can publish a template to the BIRT template folder, which will be picked
up by the new report wizard automatically.

You set up the Template folder in the BIRT -- Template page of the Eclipse
Preferences dialog.
