I am using Eclipse Luna with WDT & PDT installed. I has seen this tutorial [this video] on creating code snippets. But in my eclipse I cant see the menu or buttons to create new snippets. Do I need to install any specific plugins for this? Screenshots attached below. Snippets [LINK] Templates [LINK] [LINK] [LINK]
