Hi,

In e(fx)clipse we use Xtend to as a template language. One of the
strengths is that Xtends multi-line and indent support so it is made for
code generation (and much more).

Take a look at our Xtend templates:
-
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/bundles/tooling/org.eclipse.fx.ide.pde.ui.e4/src/org/eclipse/fx/ide/pde/ui/e4/project/template
-
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/bundles/tooling/org.eclipse.fx.ide.jdt.ui/src/org/eclipse/fx/ide/jdt/ui/internal/wizard/templates

You talked about wizards, project creation, ... so what we at
e(fx)clipse have is a language we call rrobot which is a DSL to specify
eclipse project creations e.g. this is our e4 project creation process
expressed in it:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/efxclipse/org.eclipse.efxclipse.git/tree/bundles/tooling/org.eclipse.fx.ide.pde.ui.e4/generator-tasks/e4App.rtask

We don't have an C/C++ support ;-)

Before going Jet or Freemarker I'd look at Xtend, it has the best
tooling with it you can get for a template language.
