These templates create interesting content for newly created plug-in projects. In addition, all the templates contributed using this extension point can be seen in a special version of the plug-in content wizard that lists the templates and allows users to freely combine the templates by checking them in the list.</li>
<li> A New extension can be added to an existing plug-in using a template.
</li>
</ul>
