Code Generation Templates [message #146980]

I am using Eclipse 2.1.2 and under Window>Java>Code Generation there is
an "Import..." button on the "Code and Comments" tab that allows
importing a new template for code generation. It appears to want an XML
file that defines the template. I would like to add a template here but
I can not find anything that documents the format or DTD for this XML
file. I have 2 questions:

1) Where can I find examples or the DTD for these templates?
2) Is this still supported in 3.0 and if so will I have to make changes
when I migrate to 3.0?

Thanks,
Phil

Once can create they're own examples simply by exporting the existing
template. Export is available at the same location as import.

Hi,

Afaik you cannot extend those code templates, only change its content
(import simply restore data from an xml you got when you export them). If
you have common code snippets you do not want to type again and again see
Window>Java>Editor>Templates. These templates are available via code assist
(ctrl+space).
And yes, both of them (Code Generation and Templates) are in Eclipse 3.0 as
well, and both of them are improved. I don't know whether you can import a
2.1 code generation xml into 3.0 but I think you can.

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba

Yes. Plus, with 3.0, the template mechanism is becoming public API.
Watch https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11020 to track its
changes / enhancements.
