Code Completion and Templates

Abstract

This chapter covers several important time-saving features NetBeans provides programmers: code completion, code templates, and file templates. Code completion allows you to enter the name of a class, interface, package, field, or method without having to type the entire name. A code template is a block of text or code that can be automatically inserted into your file by typing only a few characters. A file template is a placeholder for an entire file of content that can facilitate reuse and standardization.
