Storing code snippets in eclipse

Question

I\'m a recent semi-convert to Eclipse after 20 years of using vi and gvim. One of the things I miss about gvim is that I could cut a bunch of different snippets of code int

Answer 1

Use Eclipse Snipmatch (Part of Eclipse for Java Developers Package).

• Works very well for Java code snippets but also works for any other language like HTML, ABABP, PHP etc.
• You can convert any code fragment from your editor directly to a code template. Highlight the code you'd like to convert to a snippet, context menu "create snippet", complete the form and done.
• snippets can be shared via Git repositories with your team members
