Description kitfox 2005-12-19 13:24:18 UTC 
In NB 4.1, it was possible to tweak the source files used to generate various
.java files.  Instructions on how to do this were printed at the top of every
.java file created:

 * To change this template, choose Tools | Options and locate the template under
 * the Source Creation and Management node. Right-click the template and choose
 * Open. You can then make changes to the template in the Source Editor.

This no longer works with NB 5.0.  Nor is there any obvious place to find the
templates to modify.  How can I find and edit my templates to provide some
custom boiler plate javadoc and/or code for all files I create?

Tools > Template Manager ?
Comment 2 kitfox 2006-01-07 04:25:12 UTC 
Didn't see that.  Sorry.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2006-01-22 12:52:33 UTC 
Sorry, but it works fine in NB 5.0 , there is a text at the beggining of each
created file :
------------------
/*
 * Main.java
 *
 * Created on January 22, 2006, 11:55 AM
 *
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Template Manager
 * and open the template in the editor.
