Question

Is there any way to have a template (Java -> Editor -> Templates) in Eclipse that generate something like this

debug("methodName arg1=" + arg1 + " arg2=" + arg2 + " arg3=" + arg3);

When used in a method. For instance:

public void setImage(long rowId, long contactId, String thinggy) {
   // invoking the template here, produces this:
   debug("setImage rowId=" + rowId + " contactId=" + contactId + " thinggy=" + thinggy);
}

I couldn’t find a way to do that with the standard template UI, maybe there exists a plugin to do this kinds of things?

I’ve made small plugin that adds nicely formatted variable:

Eclipse doesnt provide any information about parameter type, so there is no Arrays.toString(…)
