Create an Eclipse template to println a variable in scope

Question

In programming, I often have situations where I want to print a variable to the console.

int myVar = 23;
System.out.println("myVar" + myVar);

I'd like to automate the task by outsourcing it to an Eclipse template. So far, this is the template I have prepared:

System.out.println((NAME OF VAR IN QUOTES?) + ${var});

How would I put the name of var in a String?

Answer 1

You are very close. It's just easy as that:

System.out.println("${var} " + ${var}); // quote creates the difference

Answer 2

I use:

System.out.println("${var}:\t" + ${var});
