Currently, Templates [1] can work only with FileObjects - this is limiting because one cannot set non-existing target folder - see issue #233484 for the use case. Thanks. [1] org.netbeans.spi.project.ui.templates.support.Templates
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
