Using WTP version .7, the following plugin.xml supplies a snippet to
Eclipse:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets.SnippetContributions ">
<category filters="*" icon="" id="category_1129061971546"
initial_state="0" label="DonDrawer" largeicon="">
<description/>
<item category="category_1129061971546" class="" editorclass=""
icon="" id="item_1129061987484" label="DonItem" largeicon="">
<description><![CDATA[Description]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[if(${var1} > ${var2}) continue;]]></content>
<variable default="" id="name_2" name="var2">
<description/>
</variable>
<variable default="" id="name_1" name="var1">
<description/>
</variable>
</item>
</category>
</extension>
</plugin>

When I double-clicket the snippet, and click on one of the variables in the
Variables table, I get an error pop-up, with the following in the error log.
Any ideas?

The insertion dialog is assuming that your variable has a
description, as an attribute, not a child configuration element, and
that there's actual text specified for it.

Thanks, changing the variables to the following resolved the problem. I
guess you can't just export a snippet to an XML file, and copy its contents
into the plugin.xml.

<variable default="" id="name_2" name="var2" description="this is var
2"></variable>
<variable default="" id="name_1" name="var1" description="this is var
1"></variable>
