Hi, I'd like to contribute to this issue. I'll investigate why setting
java.templates.typeCommentprevents the Java type template chooser from appearing after creating a new.javafile. I'll try to identify the regression introduced in version 1.56.0, reproduce it with a test case, and submit a fix with appropriate tests. Please let me know if there's any additional context or guidance before I begin.datho7561 commentedon Oct 16, 2026
I managed to replicate this. 1.55 works but 1.56 and 1.57 don't.
@MeherSru if you have time, do you mind looking into this?
