I have just started looking at developing a plugin for Eclipse and I found a bunch of tutorials, some of which seem out of date (i.e. using old versions of Eclipse). But I have found one that uses Helios, so it is pretty up to date. Yet all of them refer to creating the projects using templates. Whenever I start a new plugin project the list of templates is empty. Does anyone know where these templates come from? Is there something specific I need to install within Eclipse to get the templates? Can I download them separately from somewhere else?

    The PDE templates are in the org.eclipse.pde.ui.templates plugin. I am using the default Eclipse packaging and this plugin is part of the “distribution”. May be you can look into Helios software repository (Help -> Install New Software -> Helios Repository) and see if you can find any features related to PDE UI template.

    EDIT: After checking, the PDE templates plugin is part of the PDE feature. As a consequence if you have the PDE installed you should have the templates. What “distribution” of Eclipse did you downloaded from the download page ?
