How do you add a new variable to be inserted into a Java code

  • 0

How do you add a new variable to be inserted into a Java code template. How do I add a variable to the list in Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Code Templates->Code->New Java Files->Edit->Insert Variable… ?

Currently my new files get created with:

${filecomment} ${package_declaration} ${typecomment} ${type_declaration}

I’d like them to get created with something like:

${begin_filecomment} ${package_declaration} ${typecomment} ${type_declaration} ${end_filecomment}

where begin_filecomment and end_filecomment appear in the Insert Variable list.

  1. I’m pretty sure that the list of ‘variables’ is generated by Eclipse and there is no way to add a new template variable.

    What do you want ${begin_filecomment} and ${end_filecomment} to be? Just type the content into the Edit box – there is nothing that says you cannot put static content in there.
