Hooray! Syntax highlighting! Outline view!
Bonus: Snippet Hyperlinks
Template references are hyperlinked! Cmd-click any template reference to jump to that snippet's definition.
And from within your java code, right-click a template name anywhere in your code and select "Open Snippet" to jump to the definition.
UTF-8
The Chunk template engine, as of 1.5, assumes that your templates use charset UTF-8. If you use any accented or unusual characters in your templates, I strongly recommend to Eclipse users that you set your workspace default charset to UTF-8.
Eclipse -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Text file encoding -> UTF-8
