[cdt-dev] Contributing my own templates to

["Ploett Norbert" <norbert.ploett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

I am trying the re-written code templates in CDT 3.0 (weekly build from
April 25 - org.eclipse.cdt.sdk-3.0.0-I200504251446-win32.x86.zip,
eclipse is eclipse-SDK-3.1M6-win32.zip).
I would like to contribute some of my own templates to the
org.eclipse.cdt.ui.text.templates.c context type id. From the
documentation I found I thought this would be as simple as

- Adding an extension to the point org.eclipse.ui.editors.templates to
my plugin.xml.
- Adding a template definition to this extension which references
org.eclipse.cdt.ui.text.templates.c as context type id.
- Writing my template as the body of this template element.

Now when I start a runtime workbench without my extension I see the
usual standard templates in Window / Preferences / C/C++ / Editor /
Templates.
When I add my extension the list of templates is compeletely empty.

Has anybody ventured into these lands? What should I do?

For more clarity I am adding a snippet from my plugin.xml

Thanks for any hints,


Norbert Ploett
