How to make System.out.println() shorter

Question

Please advice on where can I find the lib in order to use the shorter expression of System.out.println() and where should I place that lib.

Answer 1

Logging libraries

You could use logging libraries instead of re-inventing the wheel. Log4j for instance will provide methods for different messages like info(), warn() and error().

Homemade methods

or simply make a println method of your own and call it:

void println(Object line) {     System.out.println(line); }  println("Hello World"); 

IDE keyboard shortcuts

IntelliJ IDEA and NetBeans:

you type sout then press TAB, and it types System.out.println() for you, with the cursor in the right place.

Eclipse:

Type syso then press CTRL + SPACE.
