Description

If I go to Preferences -> Groovy -> Templates and click "New...", nothing happens. I don't know whether this is a system-specific bug or if the feature is on one someone's to-do list.

I have not worked on reimplementing the groovy templates feature because Java templates work in Groovy editor. I probably should have removed the preference page from the eclipse preferences, but I did not.

I recommend that you try creating a Java template and try it out in a groovy editor. It seems like most of the functionality would transfer, but I have not tested this in depth.

Can you try this and comment here on what is missing (if anything) from creating and using Java templates in Groovy?

One thing that I know I need to look into is adding a new template context specifically for groovy, but that could come later.

OK, sounds good. I'd suggest removing the Groovy -> Templates preference screen until this feature is implemented, if possible.

Just an update on this bug. Java editor templates are available in the groovy editor when the carat location is inside of a method or initializer. They are not available from within scripts.

Perhaps someone with some time on their hands can provide some nice groovy templates to be available in the editor.

It's nice when you get to resolve really old bugs.

I just implemented Groovy templates properly. There is now a new preferences page Preferences -> Groovy -> Editor -> Templates. You can configure groovy templates there. Java templates have been removed from the editor.
