Changes to Intellij SDK 8.0+ around FileTemplate and FileTemplateManager

Hello Liam,

Make sure that idea.jar is added to the classpath of your IDEA JDK. These
two classes never were part of the OpenAPI, but they're still available in
8.0.

Hi, I'm trying to get Wicketforge up and running for IDEA 8.x, and
I've loaded the code up and the issue seems to be two missing types,
com.intellij.ide.fileTemplates.FileTemplate and FileTemplateManager.
According to the 8.0 SDK API, neither exists anymore. Is there
something with similar functiona

lity I could use instead? I can see FileTemplateDescriptors but they
appear significantly different.

They are being used to load templates like so -

 FileTemplateManager.getInstance().getJ2eeTemplate(templateName);
> String text;
> try {
> text = template.getText();
> }
> catch (Exception e) {
> throw new RuntimeException("Unable to load template for "
> +
> FileTemplateManager.getInstance().internalTemplateToSubject(templateNa
> me), e);
> }]]>

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks Dmitry.

What's the proper way to approach this problem without using non-openAPI methods?  Should we continue to use them or is there another suggested approach?

Hello Shaun,

For the time being there is no other suggested approach. I hope that we'll
be able to move these classes to OpenAPI in IDEA 9.
