Eclipse power shortcuts

Eclipse is a Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that has many problems, in my view, but also many good things.

Here are a few time-savers:

Type:
sysout CTRL+space

and Eclipse completes to:
System.out.println()


Type:
throw new NPE CTRL+space

and Eclipse presents a list of Exception classes whose capital letters start with N, P, and E.
In this case, we want to complete to:
throw new NullPointerException()

Again:
throw new IArE CTRL+space

and complete to:
throw new IllegalArgumentException()


Nice! :)

Actually , syso (and syse) plus Ctrl-Space is enough :-) .
