Apparently since Netbeans 6.9, code templates can insert the current class name, and I just found out now that 7.1 is out. So one template I use all the time I named "logger" and now that I found this feature, I can make the template be:
private static final ${loggerType type="org.slf4j.Logger" default="Logger" editable="false"} logger = ${loggerFactory type="org.slf4j.LoggerFactory" default="LoggerFactory" editable="false"}.getLogger(${classVar editable="false" currClassName default="getClass()"}.class);
Then just by typing "logger[tab]" in inserts:
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CurrentClassName.class);
and it even adds the imports for org.slf4j. Nice!
This is a great little timesaver. They have a couple in there for java.util.Logging already (logr and logr). I need to go through the templates again.
A Java developer's place to write down things that were somewhat obscure or difficult to piece together, that were worth remembering and writing run-on sentences about.
And the eclipse equivalent is
ReplyDeleteprivate static final ${loggerType:newType(org.slf4j.Logger)} logger = ${loggerFactory:newType(org.slf4j.LoggerFactory)}.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
