how to import a eclipse code template file to intellij idea?

Question

There are two different files about code style in eclipse:

1. Code formatter file
2. Code template file.

Now I know the code formatter file can

Answer 1

I exported the code from https://code.google.com/p/eclipse2idea/, opened the maven project in IntelliJ, made a clean package and used the resulting jar to convert an Eclipse xml to an Intellij xml. No problems.

Now, I do not know how to import the Intellij xml file. "Import Settings" does not work. In the "Live Template" area in settings, there is no import import.

Does anyone have a clue how to import the converted IntelliJ Template xml?

Unfortunately you cannot import code templates out of the box.
That might change in the future though..

Your best bet for now is to get this plugin to work and give it a go..

I couldn't find the plugin on the marketplace or an update site for it though.
Best of luck..
