Description Navid Mehregani

Build Identifier: 

This enhancement has been requested by one of users (Steve Jerman).  I agree that it's a good usability improvement:

At the moment users create Velocity template files by using New > Other > General > File wizard in Eclipse.  We should create a custom wizard for creating Velocity template files.  This wizard would enforce the following:

- Ensure that the file ends with .vm file extension
- The file ends up in 'templates' folder of a plugin project
- Any name conventions??

Reproducible: Always

This enhancement has been completed.  New Velocity Template Wizard is available by right clicking on a Tigerstripe plugin project.  New wizard completes the following validation:

- Template file must have a .vm file extension (if a file extension is not specified, it's automatically added)
- Template file is automatically created in the project's 'templates' folder.  It doesn't matter which resource the user right clicked on to invoke the wizard
- Filename must not contain any invalid characters
- Velocity template files can only be created for a Tigerstripe plugin project

Once the file is created, it's automatically opened and selected in TS explorer.
