[opencms-dev] Templates the JSP way

[Frans Postma]

You need to create a new module and then you can add your own templates under
system/modules/mynewmodule/templates

It's a good idea to ONLY place the jsp files there which you want to be
available for choice in the choose-template dropdown. Other needed jsp's and
code fragement usually go in system/modules/mynewmodule/resources or whichever
other directory.
