how to modify templates used by project wizard?

[peterblazejewicz]

hi all,

is there a way to modify templates used by wizards while creating new project/module?
- html template
- .css file template
- generated entry point
I've checked distribution features/plugins content but I cannot find plain text based templates for that,

I've found myself that I'm repeating the same "template"-like patterns with designer:
- add custom .css (most frequently reset-fonts.css from YUI developer library) and/or remove generated .css content
- add strict mode definition in html page
- remove all comments generated in page
- add character set declaration for UTF-8
- remove generated button from entry point
- QuickFix all errors that arise after button is removed from design
- add inherited tag to generated module .gwt.xml file

I think users who use mostly GWT-EXT/MyGWT can find that "missing manual" feature usefull,

regards,
Peter

Look into GWT Designer plugin, folder templates/model. You can change it partly, but not all changes that you perform manually can be done by changing these templates.

For now the most easy way is probably just create GWT module using Designer and then copy content of "public" folders from some existing and already configured GWT module.

In future we will consider flexible custom templates for GWT modules.

hi Konstantin,
sorry, I cannot find that, could you post full relative context path? (e.g. /plugins/com.plugin.name_[versionseed] - without verison seed,
I've found tempaltes for swt/swing/rpc already but cannot find relevant for gwt,

Something like this: com.swtdesigner.gwt_4.0.0.200802260438.jar/templates/model

hi Konstantin,

aha, .jar!, ok, I'll try later today,
thanks for tips!
so it means that eventually we could write custom patch for that and include in Eclipse configuration in future,

Presumably, yes.
