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..
