how difficult it is to have Velocity templates support into MyEclipse ? instead of generating JSPs, generate plain old HTML with VTL components or macros in it. Auto complete for VTL would be sweet as well (VTL is *very* small btw)
As I see it, these days the use of Struts + Velocity is on the rise, and gaining popularity. I know quite a number of ppl. who would love a tool that includes Velocity. I was highly impressed by the auto generation of JSPs with MyEclipse Wizards. it would be great if VTL/HTML can be generated as an option.
thanx 🙂
nabil,
MyEclipse is driven by user demand, so we can definately look into this. Keep the suggestions comming!Very nice idea. We are too late into the 2.7/3.7 to add significant new features as this. But I have entered an enhancement request to enable the user to create a set of code generation templates and then select the appropriate tempate from the Struts wizards.

😀 Glad to do my part!
BTW, I personally use Velocity templates to generate code, emails, documents, and web pages. There are some existing Velocity plugins which provide okay support for Velocity, but they could defintely use the ME team’s polish. 😉

what I really hope is to see is ME generates .vm with Struts forms bits (VelocityStruts) in it instead of using Struts and it’s Taglib on JSP. having this on ME helps reducing the number of different plugins to use on teh same project, ME is all need 🙂
I understand it’s too late for the .7 release, hopfully the next one 😉
We are always happy to take suggestions from the developers using ME, since you guys know best what you want!
We can certainly look into the VelocityStruts solution, but it will probably be for after 2.8 since our plate is really full with some cool enhancements for 2.8.
