    Hey Mike,

       I like the template system for projects but I had one extra
    request. Often I like to keep templates out on shared drives so
    everyone in the office is always using the same template etc. Could
    you allow for a DirectoryDialog option to pick the search path
    directory for templates and/or also a preference pane option to set a
    default templates directory.

    Thanks for all the hard work :),
    ~jake

    Also:
    I am going to run EntityModeler through its paces a bit this weekend
    will see if some of the old 'errors' I had seen in the past are still
    there etc. Off the top of my head there had been a problem with
    copying text from a cellEditor and the app registering it as copying
    the row, setting the java class name in the TableViewer Mode
    overwriting the external name that had been added via the properties
    pane. Will log in JIRA what ever I find. Again Thanks! :-)
