I have installed SublimeJava plugin but apparently there is no such short cut

Answer 1

You're looking for pl<tab> for System.out.println(|); and p<tab> for System.out.print(|);. It doesn't put the 'text', but it does put your cursor in the right place to type. Also note that, like Eclipse or IntelliJ, when you expand a Snippet, Tab will continue to move you through the positions in the Snippet until you've filled in all the blanks.

These are called "Snippets", and you can find them under Tools -> Snippets.... You can add new ones with Tools -> New Snippet....
