DEV version 201212280001 Mac OS X 10.7 Oracle Java 1.7.0_10 When working with templated files generated by the IDE, the comment at the top of the files specifies that we can change the templates by selecting"Tools->Templates" and opening the template in an editor. When a template (example: FileType) is selected in the template list, the "Open in Editor" button is not activated. The only way to open a template is to duplicate the template an open the duplicate.

If you want to change the license text, go to Tools -> Templates -> Licenses and change the content of Default License (or add your own license). You cannot change the content of the generated file itself, since NB module templates consist of multiple, not just one file. But true, the generated text is somehow confusing and might need to be rephrased.
