[eclipse-dev] RE: Syntax Templates

[Zenil_Hussain@xxxxxxxxxx]

	Hi All,

	I am interested in Syntax Templates. JDT uses a
default-templates.xml for storing patterns for each templates. The Pattern
value can be given as an attribute for each  Template. But it is given as a
#Text node under each template. Any particular reason why this is used???

	Eg; In JDT
	<template description="iterate over array" name="for" context="java"
	>for (int ${index} = 0; ${index} &lt; ${array}.length; ${index}++) {
		${cursor}
	}</template>

	Which can also be given as 
	<template description="iterate over array" name="for" context="java"
	pattern="for (int ${index} = 0; ${index} &lt; ${array}.length;
${index}++) {
		${cursor}}" > </template>


	Regards,
	zenil
