I'm just referring to the "New Class" Wizard in Eclipse, which simply
takes the interface in the connector API from which to start, and
builds you skeleton code (screenshot below). <br>
<br>
I'm guessing there's a way to leverage this programmatically when
building an Eclipse plugin? <br>

As I understand even the standard Eclipse mechanisms use some kind of
templates as a starting point to generate the "targets", like the ones
that Sanjay mentioned earlier in the thread.
When we say template code, we will put in something like
public class ${name}Connector extends Connector{
        public Connection getConnection(){
                return new ${name}Connection();
        }
}
which will generate code like (assumed that name of my connector is
"Google")
public class GoogleConnector extends Connector{
        public Connection getConnection(){
                return new GoogleConnection();
        }
}
obviously, there is big task of keeping the template code in-line with
Connector API/Base classes.
However, if there is alternative way to keep them in sync always, I
would prefer that. Do you think there is way in eclipse to accomplish
this? If so, can you please share your experience.
Thanks
Ramesh..
