Seeking useful Eclipse Java code templates

Question

You can create various Java code templates in Eclipse via Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates e.g. `sysout` is expanded to: ``` System.out.println(${word_selection}${});${cursor} ``` You can activate this by typing `sysout` followed by `CTRL+SPACE` What useful Java code templates do you currently use? Include the name and description of it and why it's awesome. I am looking for an original/novel use of a template rather than a built-in existing feature. - Create Log4J logger - Get swt color from display - Syncexec - Eclipse Framework - Singleton Pattern/Enum Singleton Generation - Readfile - Const - Traceout - Format String - Comment Code Review - String format - Try Finally Lock - Message Format i18n and log - Equalsbuilder - Hashcodebuilder - Spring Object Injection - Create FileOutputStream

Accepted Answer

The following code templates will both create a logger and create the right imports, if needed.

SLF4J

```
${:import(org.slf4j.Logger,org.slf4j.LoggerFactory)}
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
```

Log4J 2

```
${:import(org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager,org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger)} 
private static final Logger LOG = LogManager.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class); 
```

Log4J

```
${:import(org.apache.log4j.Logger)}
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
```

Source.

JUL

```
${:import(java.util.logging.Logger)}
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class.getName());
```
