It should be visible in the list straight away, without restarting Tomcat. (And btw, it is the title property of the template file that is displayed in the drop-down list; if you want it at the top of the list, begin your title with a "-" or something like that.)

Thanks,

I've found my mistake now:

Some of my templates had been created by copying an existing template
from another module as base and afterwards adjusted. But for two of
these templates I forgot to change the "title"-property. So the old
title appeared three times in the list but since the list is very long
at the moment this wasn't visible at first view.
