Useful Intellij Live Templates

Question

In the same manner as the Useful Eclipse Java Code Templates, and having converted to Intellij I'm wondering whether there are similar useful code templates that people use.

I've setup the slf4j import as follows:

• Abbreviation: slog
• Section: output
• Edit Variables: CLASS_NAME -> className()
• Applicable in Java: declaration

and the template text is:

private static final org.slf4j.Logger LOG = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger($CLASS_NAME$.class);

Are there other useful Live Templates that people use?

Answer 1

With Java 7 you can use the lookup method in the MethodHandlesclass to simplify the logging template.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/invoke/MethodHandles.Lookup.html

private static final org.slf4j.Logger LOG = org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles.lookup().lookupClass());

There are many examples. Just try with searching for example in GitHub: https://github.com/search?q=intellij+live+templates
