Hi,

i would like to know, if it is "easily" possible to create new
codetemplates for and integrate them into eclipse?
here is what i want to do:

i want to write my own codetemplate, so that i can select
e.g "new->java->entityBean" and eclipse asks me for a filename,
reads my codetemplate, "copies" the content to that file
and opens it up in a new editor.

do i have to write my own plugin for this? if so, appr. how many
classes do i have write (just to get a picture if the result is
worth the effort ;) ?

best regards,
dex

Hm, should be (It's some time since I did something like this)

* Implement something from wizard and wizardpage (two classes, max
20 methods, I uess)
* write the xml to contribute it into the right place (Wizard :).
* Deplay as plugin (using the wizards for this)

But as you are doing it, you maybe want to write a more
generic one, so that others may contribute to this wizard

Something like this:
New -> Templates -> Ask 'which one' -> 'Contribution' askes
some questions -> sets up the file...

This would be really cool :) If you would then also get the
(unfortunatelly still internal) typecomment to fill in at the right
place... But maybe we should wait for the upcoming template API :)

Jan, dreaming...

It's not internal anymore since 2.1! Have a look at the class CodeTemplates.

Regarding Dex's question, you can't add an new code template at the
moment. But Jan is right, having a wizard will give you even more
possibilities (to react on the configured settings and e.g. create
methods).

Oops, not CodeTemplates, 'org.eclipse.jdt.ui.CodeGeneration'
