just curious if this can be done with my Eclipse , I have been unable to find such a feature yet , but I could have missed it .

In another IDE I was able to write a predefined string then press tab , and that would automaically produce some code for me in my file . It was a velocity based sistem , and it worked a bit like the Snippets feature I see in my Eclipse , only that it didn’t require clicking , and it was customizable .

A similar thing was done for File Templates where you’d define your own template with velocity and then create a special , custom type of file .

Any way I could do this with my Eclipse ?

thanks

Yep, you can configure that at Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates.

Don’t think that one is available as file types are contributed with wizards through extension points in Eclipse and it’s system isn’t Velocity based.

i see , thank you very much . . .

in fact at this point , i can setup some large file templates that could do the job of a file template just as easy
