<p>Is there a good Eclipse plugin for recording and playing back macros?</p>

<p>I've tried <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20161025001953/http://www.bdaum.de:80/eclipse/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a>, but it didn't do me any good- it seemed like it wasn't ready for prime time.</p>

<p>I know about editor templates, but I'm looking for something that I can use to record my keystrokes and then apply multiple times against a wad of text.</p>

<p>This seems like a strange hole in an IDE. Am I missing some built-in facility for this?</p>

This seems like a strange hole in an IDE, am I missing some builtin facility for this?
This is a common problem. There are around four bugs opened in Eclipse tracker for this. Unfortunately you would probably see macros in Eclipse in v4.0 or later.
