I have a need to use a .jsf temple of my own design. can you tell me the steps or point to a tututorial that will help me create one?

There are currently no mechanisms that support user-created templates unfortunately for new files. However you can edit the existing templates by navigating to your:
<myeclipse dir>\eclipse\plugins\com.genuitec.eclipse.wizards_3.8.4\Templates

directory and editing the respective template file.

Thanks, works like a charm. Do you know if this will change in the next release? I would like to distribute four different templates to my team.

Unfortunately no, user-defined templates have not been a high priority for us (based on user demand). We would *like* to add them (just from a programmers stand point) but business concerns drag our attention elsewhere right now (RAD tools, designers, etc.).

I don’t mind having to edit a default template instead of adding new ones, but when we upgrade to the next version is it going to overwrite our changes? Just so I know – then I can back it up!

Thanks!

Each tiem you install a new version of MyEclipse it is isntalled into a new directory, the Templates are stored in the plugins folder, so it won’t overwrite your old ones, but you may need to copy them from the old install (JUST the templates) into the new install.
