Hi, i develop many java applications and some classes require quite large constructors, especially with certain games and their add-ons.

Normally what id do is create all my fields first and getters/setters.

Then just type the class name below the last field.

Example:
public class EclipseExample{
String field;
int field2;
double field3;

//Then id proceed to typing in:
EclipseExample

}

Then id hold the CTRL key, and press space to open up my options for creating constructors, Normally this isnt a drama, but can get a bit lengthy when youre on a schedule.

I know theres a "Generate constructors with fields" option, Somewhere in the menu's, which is quick, but i feel that the CTRL + Space option should also provide the same feature, for faster constuctor creation.
}

If this feature isnt something i can enable, is there a place i can suggest this option to the developers?

Thanks Smile
