The current template-based code generation infrastructure does not permit inserting content into an existing file, other than the limited case of adding extensions to a plugin.xml. This would be useful for, e.g.: - adding resources into a resource bundle containing labels, tooltips, and descriptions for actions - inserting entries into a static array used by some table-driven code This would also presumably require some infrastructure to detect whether a given resource exists, and if not, generating it from the appropriate template.
I'm going to change the priority of this bug to "enhancement" since that seems appropriate and to suggest that we probably don't want to plan to address this before the open-source release.
Doing this right will require a significantly different and more complicated code generation mechanism. Postponed until probably even past the Eclipse.org release.
I'm changing the state of this bug from NEW to ASSIGNED since I'm pretty sure we actually want to do it.
