eclipse shortcut for System.out.println("");

[satish pune]

Hello ,
I am using Eclipse 3.0.0 and am relatively new at using Eclipse
I have used JBuilder and have come to like the ability to
add System.out.println(""); - by just using a Keyboard shortcut - Ctrl + J

However - I have not been able to figure out how to go about the same in Eclipse

Its quite irritating to everytime write the same thing again !

Thanks ,

You can add macros like that to Eclipse as well, plus it comes equipped with a decent set of them as standard.
I must admit I hardly ever use them, too lazy to learn them all

Satish,
Type sysout and then press ctrl-space. The shortcut changed in one of the versions of Eclipse. You can check which one yours uses by going to Windows --> Preferences --> Editor --> Templates.

This is also the place to change the name of templates or create your own.
