How to modify the class template ? [message #184504]

Is there a way to modify the class template. I mean the code inside a
class definition bracket. The goal is to insert a source control version
tag on class creation.

The template presented in the JDT to modify class allow to alter only
what is external to the class (not inside class definition bracket).

Ex:

file: any.java
/*
* some comments...
*/
${package_declaration} -> ex: org.myPackage;
${typecomment} -> /**
* @owner foo
* @version 1.0
*/
${type_declaration} -> public class myClass {

}

What I want is to insert a static variable after class declaration :
public class myClass {
public static String scv = "1.0";
}

I though it may be possible by altering class template but these
template is located inside a JDT jar (I didn't remember where).

Currently not possible. See e.g.

Thats what I though.

Thanks for reply.

But does someone know which jar contains the actual class temlate to
alter it to meet this need ?

There's no template for type bodies, since those are currently created in
code. Clients call
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CodeGeneration.getCompilationUnitContent( ..)
and pass in the type declaration as a string.
