Eclipse Custom Variable for Java Code Templates

Question

How do you add a new variable to be inserted into a Java code template. How do I add a variable to the list in Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Code Templates->Code->N

Answer 1

To add on to the conversation, I also wanted to insert a custom variable into a template. My issue was that I wanted to insert a variable from jsp/jstl definition inside the template.

(I.E. <c:set var="myVariable" value="${requestScope.variableName}" />)

This apparently caused some issues because templates already use the ${} syntax to help resolve its own variables.

So simple solution I included an additional $ to the pattern in the template. Two $$ signs resolves it to a single $ sign, hence giving me exactly what I wanted. Hopefully this helps the poster or someone with similar situation.
