Description Jaroslav Tulach 2007-02-06 16:45:29 UTC 
TN: Why not generate from one template multiple files? 
JT: As inception review said it is not needed.
TN: Still it might be useful.
PP: CRUD application is our usecase.
JT: You can always call for (DataObject obj : ...) 
obj.createFromTemplate(....);
JT: Enough?
RK: Let's solve in another phase and in another review.
PP: Enough to have multiple small templates, but it is necessary to show and 
edit them
    in Template Manager.
*TCA*: necessary to show and edit them in Template Manager meaninfully.

Looks good to me.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2007-02-13 16:58:50 UTC 
Can you explain the connection between the requirement ("enough to have multiple
small templates, but it is necessary to show and edit them in Template Manager")
and the fix (hide some folders from Template Manager)? There is no explanation
here of how you expect compound templates to work.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Tulach 2007-02-14 08:02:02 UTC 
I see, sorry, I was talking to Martin A. and did not realize that others do 
not know the details of our discussion.

With this fix you can create a Templates/EJB3.0 folder and put there all the 
small templates you need, and then you can create on "big" template 
Templates/EntityJavaBean.instance that delegates to all the small templates in 
the EJB3.0 folder and tell that it is "simple"=Boolean.FALSE. That way 
this "big" template is not going to be visible in Template Manager, just in 
New File wizard. Imho, this is the needed enhancement that 
allows "subtemplates".
