There are no templates in Java, perhaps you mean generics.
They are planned (there is a related bug entry) but they are hard to add, because authors has to inject Processing's special syntax sugar in Java 1.5's grammar, which isn't trivial (and nobody else did it either: after all Processing is open source! but it needs some good knowledge of the Antlr parser...).

Note: you can use this syntax in a .java file. But loosing there the direct access to functions (have to carry around a PApplet variable).
