 <h1 class="topictitle1">Snippets view</h1>
 <div><p>This documentation gives an overview of the Snippets view.</p><p>The Snippets view lets you catalog and organize reusable programming objects,
 such as HTML tagging, JavaScript, and JSP code, along with files
 and custom JSP tags. The view can be extended based on additional objects
 that you define and include.</p>
 <p>To view or collapse the objects in a specific drawer, click the drawer
 name.</p>
 <div class="p">The Snippets view has the following features: <ul><li>Drag-and-drop to various source editing pages: You can drag items from
 the view into the active editor and the text will be dropped into the document
 at the cursor location </li>
 <li>Double-click support: You can double-click on an item and have it inserted
 at the current cursor position in the active editor </li>
 <li>User-defined drawers and items: You can define, edit, and remove items
 from view drawers as desired.</li>
 <li>Plug-in-defined drawers and items: Plug-in developers can contribute a
 default list of items to their own drawers.</li>
 <li>Variables in insertions: By default, items will be edited using a dialog
 and, when inserted, you will be prompted for values for each of the variables.</li>
 <li>Customization: You can select which drawers and items are shown in the
 Snippets view.</li>
 <li>Custom insertion: Plug-in developers can customize the behavior of items
 so that when they are dropped during a drag-and-drop action, both the text
 that is inserted and the insertion location are strictly defined.</li>
