How to add file templates to intellij plugin?

Question

How can i add (already created) file templates to a custom plugin for intellij idea?

The official docs are empty for file templates, only live templates are described.

Maybe someone needs the solution too...

1. Move your file templates to the resources subfolder, e.g. resources/fileTemplates
2. Add a .ft extension to your template files, e.g. TestTemplate.py.ft

A good example can be found here: File templates of the Julia plugin for the IntelliJ Platform
