WITH statement in Java

Question

In VB.NET there is the WITH command that lets you omit an object name and only access the methods and properties needed. For example:

With foo    .bar()    .reset(true)    myVar = .getName() End With 

Is there any such syntax within Java?

Thanks!

No. The best you can do, when the expression is overly long, is to assign it to a local variable with a short name, and use {...} to create a scope:

{    TypeOfFoo it = foo; // foo could be any lengthy expression    it.bar();    it.reset(true);    myvar = it.getName(); }
