Autocomplete function return value [message #1765015]

Hello,

let's say that I invoked Content Assist (Ctrl+Space) on some object.
I scroll through list of methods and choose some which returns a value.
the following code appears in my source editor:

object.someFunctionReturningValue();

However if function returns some complicated value with many generics, I would be convenient if eclipse could read function signature and automatically generate field to which function return value is assigned,
ie I would like the following code to appear in my code editor:

Map<Long,List<String>> field = object.someFunctionReturningValue

Is there any way how to achieve this?

Thank you

I hope that you can write the field name...

Write this:
field = object.someFunctionReturningValue();

Eclipse will sign the field field as an error. Press Ctrl + , to find it, then F2 and Enter to accept the Create local variable sudgestion.
