Bug 228579

It would be nice if when creating a new file, the cursor is placed at a reasonable guess at where it's needed next. For example, in the "java main class" template:


<#assign licenseFirst = "/*">
<#assign licensePrefix = " * ">
<#assign licenseLast = " */">
<#include "${project.licensePath}">

<#if package?? && package != "">
package ${package};

</#if>
/**
 *
 * @author ${user}
 */
public class ${name} {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ${cursor}
    }

}

The cursor would be inside the method body. Another fancier possibility is to keep the default text, but select it:


<#assign licenseFirst = "/*">
<#assign licensePrefix = " * ">
<#assign licenseLast = " */">
<#include "${project.licensePath}">

<#if package?? && package != "">
package ${package};

</#if>
/**
 *
 * @author ${user}
 */
public class ${name} {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ${select // TODO code application logic here}
    }

}

In this case the comment is still added, but it is selected.
