Do you use eclipse and log4j? Do you have a template to add a static Logger instance in classes? Do you have to manually add the import? HA! NO MORE!
Under Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates, click New…
Give the template a name (like “logger”).
Use this for the Pattern:
${:import(org.apache.log4j.Logger)}
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
Click OK, OK, then incant the template by typing the name of the template and invoke Content Assist (ctrl-space on most platforms).
The import line will add org.apache.log4j.Logger to your imports automatically if it doesn’t exist already. Nifty, eh?
