I got misled by it's web page: http://www.eclipse.org/xtend/. Java 10 apparently :)
I'll take another look for Jet. Thanks Paul.

Xtend is not a Java language extension; it has many similarities but significant differences too; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One of Xtend's really useful features is its triple quote operator that allows you to embed a text template within Java-ish code. Within the templates you can use guilemets to have inner control, so overall Xtend supports control within text within control; very powerful, and the whitespace tooling in the editor is good too. For text-intensive code I can strongly recommend Xtend. However you may choose to follow my example of keeping all non-text functionality in Java base classes so that you only use Xtend as a template language and plain Java for all other things.

I'm talking about a template engine that we use in the new project wizard to instantiate code templates based on various user selectable options. I was originally thinking of Jet, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Whatever happened to it? Doug.

Or is there a better template engine that people are using. CDT has it's own but I'd like to use something more standard (and better).
