Rafael,

I'll redirect your question to the M2T newsgroup which I've added to the
"to" list of my reply (so there's no need to repost the question).

Rafael:

JET permits you to define "custom tags" (XML tags that are interpreted by
the engine at runtime). You can get some details from the JET FAQ:

Hmm... lets try that again..

JET permits you to define "custom tags" (XML tags that are interpreted by

http://wiki.eclipse.org/JET_FAQ_How_do_I_create_custom_tag%3 F

JET does not permit you to defined custom directives <%@xxx %>, which are
interpreted by the JET compiler at compile time. But, so far, custom tags
have been all that anyone has needed.

Also, before you embark on creating custom tags, take a look at the supplied
library.

Hi Paul, i just finished the implementation. The problem now its to run the
JET compilation without building a plugin. As i now JET only runs on top of
eclipse or on a headless eclipse. Is there another way to run only the
compilation?

I want to do a simple unit test to my code that just receives the template
path, or stream, compile it and get the result. Could you help me with that?

PS: Sorry if this are really newbie questions... its that i
