Question

Is there a way to auto complete a statement in eclipse? If I type

if (condition) 

it should, after pressing some key, become

if (condition) {
    // putting cursor here
}

Answer 1

You can just continue to type the { and enter, and the closing bracket will be completed automatically without any special command:

if (  condition) { /* cursor here , enter */


if (  condition) { 
  /* cursor here */
}

There is also autocompletion (Crtl-Space), which can do the following

if /* cursor here , Ctrl-Space */

becomes

if ( /* cursor here */ condition) {

}

or

if ( /* cursor here */ condition) {

} else {

}
