Question

Trying to edit Freemarker Templates in Eclipse, and going nuts because I have some inline Javascript that I m creating on the fly, and can t easily comment / uncomment multiple lines at a time.

I ve tried the following:

expanding the scope of the "toggle comment" behavior (to things like "Editing Text", or "In Windows") - has no effect
installing the official Freemarker eclipse plugin (both 1.0 and 1.1) - has absolutely no effect that I can see, other than appearing under "Preferences ... File Associations"
associating the .ftl extension with other types of editors - HTML, JavaScript, 3rd party - all these have absolutely no effect that I can see

Is there a way I can tell if Eclipse is even honoring my file associations? How do I know, for sure, which Editor is being used? I know when a Java file is being edited, I see additional pulldown menus (Source, etc.) - is there any other diagnostic way to figure out what s going on?

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I know this isn t what you want to hear, but the Freemarker support in IntelliJ IDEA is really great.

Unfortunately, it isn t part of the free Community Edition, so you have to get the Ultimate Edition to benefit from it. But you can try it out for 30 days for free.

No, I am in no way associated with JetBrains, just a happy user.
