    I am evaluating the Spring IDE and am trying to get the Freemarker template editor pluggin working. I added the JBoss Tools update site and installed the pluggin using the configuration center. When I restart the IDE, I do not see the Freemarker IDE options. My ftl files open as text files and there is not Freemarker Editor with which to associate them.

    Is the Freemarker IDE pluggin supported?

    I installed just the FreeMarker editor from the JBoss Tools, and it runs without issue for me on MyEclipse for Spring 8.6. I did not attempt to istall the entrie JBoss Tools 3.1 suite, for the simple reason that it looks like there maybe some overlap, and I didn’t feel like having to reinstall my instance if I mucked up my installation.

    Is this what you wanted to know?

    Yeah, thats pretty much what I did also. I didn’t install the entire JBoss Tools suite, just the FreeMarker IDE. The only other pluggins I have installed are Subclipse and Log4E via configuration center and CodeHaggis, JarClassFinder and Jalopy in the dropins directory. Are there any known issues with any of these pluggins?

    Not that I’m aware of. I’d verify that the FreeMarker plug-in is actually installed (via the Installation Details button on the About MyEclipse panel), and then start removing the plug-ins, staring with with ones in the drop-in folder. Alternatively, you could start with a clean installation of MyEclipse for Spring and add the additional tooling one at a time, starting with the FreeMarker editor.

    Thanks Heflin. I’ll try from a clean install.

    Eclipse remembers which editor you used the 1st time you opened your file.ftl.
    So after installing the Freemarker IDE plugin you still don’t see any colors.
    Try to open another.ftl file, or new one and you see that the plugin is working 🙂 .
    So my next problem is ‘how to remove this attached editor’. Where can I find that property file?

    Solution : iIt was not that difficult 🙂
    1. Right click on file in Eclipse file explorer
    2. Choose ‘Open With’ – Freemarker Editor
