[ jEdit-users ] More powerful abbreviations?

A few days ago i discovered abbreviations and i really like them!
(shift+space is a very good shortcut for it imho).
Until now i only used it to expand simple abbreviations but now i
started to wonder if i could use it in a more powerful way, and yes
ofcourse that's possible :), by using 'Positional parameters' (reading a
manual can sometimes be very useful :D ). So i created an abbreviation:
function#my_function($param1)#
which is expanded to:
/**
 * function description
 * @param type $param description
 * @return type description
 */
function $1 {
}

This already looks very good, but it would even be more powerful if the
expanded abbreviation could also automatically fill in all the phpDoc's.
Ofcourse it would be possible to create an abbreviation like
function#function_name#param1#param2#param3#
which could expand to
/**
 * function description
 * @param type $2 description
 * @param type $3 description
 * @param type $4 description
 */
function $1($2, $3, $4) {}

but the problem is that not every function has three params..

Maybe a next version of jEdit could make it possible to use some sort of
regexp's in the abbreviation parameter or something like that?
(i currently don't know much about regexp's, although i really want to
learn using them, so maybe this is is all not possible?)

Or should i use the templates plugin to do such things?

thx!,
Jeroen
