I guess I'll stick with my private macro until then.

And the location of templates. I remember copying the properties file
from one machine to another and then jEdit hung and would not even
start. When I stopped copying the properties file around the problem
stopped. Would this have anything to do with the template directory?

I have looked at the buildtools package and its package guesser.
It parses through the buffer looking for the package name. This means
you have to manually type the package name into the buffer yourself.
The macro I wrote looks at the classpath and the buffer path and
takes a guess at the package name from that. When creating a new
.java file my macro would help but the buildtools package would 
only work after my macro ran or the user supplied the package name
manually.
