[jbosstools-dev] FreeMarker plugin deprecation

[Nick Boldt]

Great question. See reply in https://stackoverflow.com/
questions/49072160/why-is-freemarker-ide-in-eclipse-
oxygen-jboss-tools-4-5-2-final-deprecated/49119784#49119784

Turns out we JUST removed Freemarker tooling from the forthcoming JBoss
Tools 4.5.3.AM2 build (to be released tomorrow), after deprecating it in
July 2017.

So, it could come back if you're willing to take ownership of the tooling
builds & publication. Do you have any stats to demonstrate the size of its
user base?
