Question

I have a logger defined for every Java class:

private XLogger logger = XLoggerFactory
        .getXLogger(AuthenticationFailureHandlerImpl.class.getName());

I want to add this to Eclipse snippets. Is there a pre-defined Eclipse variable such that the class name could be dynamically replaced with the class name where this snippet is inserted?

Thank you.

I’m using this:

private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(${enclosing_type}.class);

Define it in Java->Editor->Templates of the Eclipse Preferences.
