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?

I have noticed months ago that the FreeMarker plugin was deprecated.
As a current maintainer of FreeMarker, I would like to know what will
it practically mean in the future, such as, will PR-s be still
integrated, will the artifacts be still hosted, and for how long? What
steps should we (at FreeMarker) take to ensure that the plugin remains
available for users (if any)?

Also, can someone answer this user question about the deprecation (as
I'm not entirely sure about the answer either)?:
