Ability to create new File Templates in Flash Builder 4

Question

I have a class interface that I have written in a Flex project using ActionScript 3 . I write FlexUnit test cases around each implementation of that interface. To help the process of creating new ones, I thought it would nice to create a FlexUnit file template around my interface.

Is there a way to create new FlexUnit file templates? It seems as though you can only modify the default templates.

If anyone has an idea on how to do that or a reference link, please let me know. Thanks!

I recommend you to try SourceMate 2.0 which supports custom file templates or wait for Flash Builder 4.5 which supports them too.

The answer is still 'no' in Flash Builder 4.6. The Adobe documentation mentions Customize for File Templates but no information on adding or removing user defines File Templates.

Even after exporting existing File Templates, altering the XML and importing them in Flash Builder I was never able to get the application to show a new File Template. It would only alter existing templates with the same 'ID' attribute. In addition there is no UI in Flash Builder's File Template view to remove a user created template.
