> Does anybody know if Eclipse has any functionality like freemarker (for processing file templates)?  I'll even take a plugin/osgi bundle that provides access to freemarker apis.  If so, is that available through JBT?

We have the freemarker plugin in eclipse - but that is just for editing templates, not for executing.
Hibernate tools uses freemarker for templating but we don't expose it either since its using specific API's to be shared
with seam-gen/hibernatetools. But depending on your needs things could change on that front.

There are stuff like Eclipse JET that might be a better option http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/?project=jet#jet

Depends on what you are creating it for and wether its something to be used/shared with tool generators outside eclipse.
