<div>Not a problem; I normally try to spend few hours during weekends, so big commits will take some time from my side as well.</div>

<div>Please explain more on what you mean by "<strong>Eclipse Java code template mechanism"</strong>. Some of the eclipse core uses the mechanism I used and some uses JET templates. Are you looking forward to have JET templates ? I thought JET templates are over-kill, because we have very few things to replace.</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>For dependent jars like Oracle drivers as you pointed out, will there be a lib directory under /java/main/ ? If I need to use a temp directory, I plan to create it in the workspace itself and then delete it.</div>
