a template generally populates model elements from a resource (using readerName and readerPath attributes). It may dynamically contribute such elements providing a ModelTemplateSection in the class attributes. If both reader and class attributes are used, the resource is first loaded and the provided ModelTemplateSection can add additional elements or to refactor some elements loaded from the resource.
- id - a unique name that will be used to identify this template
- name - a translatable name that will be used in the UI for this template
- metamodel - the id of the metamodel this template applies to (e.g. "uml21")
- default - if true, this template will be the default one selected in the new model wizard
- class - a class that implements ModelTemplateSection to dynamically populate model elements
- readerName - a model reader name (e.g. "XMI") used to load the specified readerPath to populate the new model
- readerPath - a relative path to the resource that contains model elements to populate the new model. This must be used in conjunction with readerName attribute.
- override - an optional id of a overriden model template, that won't be visible to the end-user anymore.
