> I have updated Freemarker Plugin to : 
> 1) have template completion capability : (ex : type list in your ftl template, and CRTL+SPACE => <#list ....><#list> will be generate.
>  You can customize your template with menu Window/Preferences/Freemarker Editor/Templates
> 2) add XML context capabilty. You can choose XML file and have completion with element and attribute of your XML.
> 3) add String context. I beleive it will be better to have Java Type context (Boolea, String,...)
> 3) add Preview Tab to see the result of the merge of your template and your model. It works ONLY with XML context. It's not available dor Class context.
>    To use Preview Tab with Class, I believe it will good to have a class wich return getter of your Class.
>    Ex : if you have class MyForm, user will have to add getMyForm in the context class for the preview.
>    MyForm getMyForm() {
>      MyForm form = new MyForm
>      form.setId("MyId")
>      return form;
>   }
>   If user have the ftl template ${myForm.id}, when you click to th epreview tab, you will have MyId displayed.
