Early on WTP project creation wizards were simpler. The only
difference between wizards was the list of fixed facets and the
initial preset to select. Those two items were bundled together into a
template concept. Over time the initial selection was shifted to be
based on the target runtime instead, so the preset portion of the
template was deprecated. That leaves template concept to be just an id
for a list of facet id. Haven't looked to see how much code reference
there still is to this extension point. A few that I've seen looked
like dead code to me. As in wizard datamodels have shifted to
hardcodding the list of fixed facets in their initialization code,
which seems like the right thing to do at this point.
In any case, the templates extension point is going to be deprecated
for 3.2 and will be gone completely from the new incarnation of the
API in the fproj project.
Let me know if you still have questions about this.

(and extenders). If we're using deprecated code, we surely have
some story for what's going to happen instead?

What are you trying to accomplish by using the template extension
point? The template concept was something that was tried early on,
but was not a terribly successful or useful concept and is not in
active use to my knowledge. Probably needs to be marked deprecated...

Subject: [wtp-dev] Facets ext.p: template element
Hello,
Facets ext.p: the "template " element has a child element
"preset". It is deprecated and the shema also reqires it. What
should be used instead?
I couldn't find anything about the template element in this article:http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-BuildingProjectFacets/tutorial.html#defining.presets
. Is there any other documentation about it's usage?
Greetings,
Dimo
