a property that can be associated to templates that either should return real instance of ScriptEngine interface or a String name of the engine that is then used to search for it in the javax.script.ScriptEngineManager. Usually the freemarker engine is the one that is supported by the NetBeans IDE - if your module wants to use it then include a token dependency OpenIDE-Module-Needs: javax.script.ScriptEngine.freemarker in your manifest file (also accessible through project customizer GUI) to indicate to the system that you need it.
