Example of org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates extension point? [message #248174]

Hi,

I would like to create my own set of templates that you can find at Preferences
> Java > Editor > Templates AND distribute them with out the user having
to import them manually.

Is there a way to import my templates with no manual action from the developer/user?

I found this extension point org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates but the documentation
is not all that clear what is needed. Seems like this would work.

Is there a "simple" example out there of this extension point to get me bootstraped?

Ideally, I could have my plugin look for an xml file in a special location
and then load them when the user intends to use the templates.

Thanks,

Dave

The simplest way is to put the templates in a plug-in using the
org.eclipse.ui.edtiors.templates extension point:

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/extension-points/org_eclipse_ui_e ditors_templates.html
This allows to specify/include the templates in an XML file.
