How to make a custom code template for plugin [message #295072]

Eclipse User

I'm trying to find help for adding starter templates for my plugin. Like
when the user creates a new plugin and want's to use my plugin, she can
choose a template which then asks a couple of questions and then
generates java classes for her.

Only thing I found was a short text in the help which introduced the
org.eclipse.pde.ui.templates extension. I tried it and got an empty
template pretty much where I wanted it. Now I'm lost as to what to do to
get it generate the code. Do I have to do it manually? Does the project
filesystem even exist yet? I think I can figure out how to make those
wizard pages, but otherwise I'm a bit stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.

Check out the plugin for org.eclipse.pde.ui. It points to the a number
of templates already provided, like
org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.wizards.templates.HelloWorldTemp late.

Thanks. I think I'll manage now.
