Hi,

Just like how we can manually add an HTML file in a project with some
prefilled content, how can this be done programmatically?

Thank you in advance.

WTP has a DOM Level 1 implementation that you can use. If you do some
web searches on WTP DOM you should find some tutorials that will show
you how to get a WTP DOM and then use it to add your particular items.

Actually even simpler, can I directly make use of the Eclipse built-in one?
Just want to programmatically call it.

If you already have a template, you can contribute that template, to the
HTML templates, through the standard Template extension point.

Take a look at the org.eclipse.wst.html.ui plugin.xml for examples.

Hi,

Is there a direct way of getting the template and make use of it? Because I
don't need to have my own template.

Regards,

Yes, but only with internals. We don't guarantee to keep the same
templates and template names from release to release, so it's
recommended you create your own.

TemplateStore templateStore =
HTMLUIPlugin.getDefault().getTemplateStore();
Template template = templateStore.findTemplate(nameOftemplate);
TemplateContextType contextType =
HTMLUIPlugin.getDefault().getTemplateContextRegistry().getCo ntextType(template.getContextTypeId());
IDocument document = new Document();
TemplateContext context = new DocumentTemplateContext(contextType,
document, 0, 0);
TemplateBuffer buffer = context.evaluate(template);
templateString = buffer.getString();

Then you would write the string into a file using IFile.setContents().

Thank you so much Nitin.

I'm also trying to avoid using internal classes, so about creating my own
template, say I create a template through
"org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates -> template" called my_html_new but
instead of creating my own contextType, I reuse html_new as contextTypeId.
How can I get access to this template and use it to serve my original
purpose?

Unless you want your template visible in our wizard, content assist,
and preference page, there's no reason to use an HTML context
type--it's perfectly fine to declare your own. I didn't work on
this myself, so there's not a lot of advice I can give past
examining how it's implemented in our plug-ins and those from the
Platform.

One piece of advice I *can* give is to avoid accidentally declaring
the same ID for a context type as anyone else. JSDT has a bug open
due to its contexts colliding with those of JDT (266680), causing
unpredictably incorrect behavior in the preferences UI and content
assist when both are installed.

I see, I'll take a look at how content type is done, and how to make use of
it.

Thank you for your valuable help :)
