Well, that he has no even more resources to participate in this matter
(and that's perfectly understandable, before someone reads an edge
into this), doesn't make a good FreeMarker plugin less interesting. If
it beats the JBoss one significantly, most certainly everybody will
start using it, including some later release of the Liferay IDE.

So if someone starts to write an Eclipse plugin to support a dynamic
language (and a template language, so it should be able to mix with
HTML), what is his best option nowadays? Dynamic languages have become
important in the Java ecosystem, so I don't think the Eclipse guys
want to hurt the existing plugins (JavaScript, Jython and all that)
too much, or impede future development on that area.
