Can I generate fields automatically in eclipse from a constructor?
eclipse
Solution
If you have a class A.
class A{
A(int a |){}
}
| is the cursor. Crtl + 1 "assign parameter to new field"
Result:
class A{
private final int a;
A(int a){
this.a = a;
}
}
This works also for methods:
void method(int b){}
Will result in:
private int b;
void method(int b){
this.b = b;
}
Problem
When I'm coding in eclipse, I like to be as lazy as possible. So I frequently type something like: myObject = new MyClass(myParam1, myParam2, myParam3); Even though MyClass doesn't exist and neither does it's constructor. A few clicks later and eclipse has created MyClass with a constructor inferred from what I typed. My question is, is it possible to also get eclipse to generate fields in the class which correspond to what I passed to the constructor? I realize it's super lazy, but that's the whole joy of eclipse!
