[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Use an XML Template when creating a New XML

[Ronan Mulvaney <rmulvaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dani,

The Wizard I'm using is just my own creation/extension to the New File 
option to allow for the creation of the file type that I am handling.
I wasn't aware that they were only code templates, I was hoping to 
re-use this Template Store to allow developers of my artifact the 
ability to customize the initial file creation similar to the "New Java 
Files" template in the JDT.
