| <div><p>This documentation gives an overview of the Snippets view.</p><p>The Snippets view lets you catalog and organize reusable programming objects, |
| such as HTML tagging, JavaScript™, and JSP code, along with files |
| and custom JSP tags. The view can be extended based on additional objects |
| that you define and include.</p> |
| <p>To view or collapse the objects in a specific drawer, click the drawer |
| name.</p> |
| <div class="p">The Snippets view has the following features: <ul><li>Drag-and-drop to various source editing pages: You can drag items from |
| the view into the active editor and the text will be dropped into the document |
| at the cursor location </li> |
| <li>Double-click support: You can double-click on an item and have it inserted |
| at the current cursor position in the active editor </li> |
| <li>User-defined drawers and items: You can define, edit, and remove items |
| from view drawers as desired.</li> |
| <li>Plug-in-defined drawers and items: Plug-in developers can contribute a |
| default list of items to their own drawers.</li> |
| <li>Variables in insertions: By default, items will be edited using a dialog |
| and, when inserted, you will be prompted for values for each of the variables.</li> |
| <li>Customization: You can select which drawers and items are shown in the |
| Snippets view.</li> |
| <li>Custom insertion: Plug-in developers can customize the behavior of items |
| so that when they are dropped during a drag-and-drop action, both the text |
| that is inserted and the insertion location are strictly defined.</li> |
| </ul> |
