Automaticly implement an Interface or a Subclass [message #60792]

Hello all
I have a newbie question, which I couldn't find an answer to.

I was wondering if Eclipse provides a way to allow a one click "Source"
option to create a new class from the interface which is now in focus. I
think it is called "Auto Implementation".
Also - the same usage to create a sub class for the class which is now
in focus.

Having to open the wizard and browse for the desired
Interface/Superclass in the different text fields is too awkward. I mean -
It could be known by using the object that is now in focus (editor window
in focus).

This feature is available in IntelliJ IDEA, and I couldn't find it in
Eclipse.

Thank you!

Elad

The key is to have a super class or interface already selected in the
workspace, not open in an editor. Select an Interface or Class in one of
the navigation views* (Package Explorer view if your'e using the Java
perspective, Types view if using the Java Browsing pespective). Then
when you click the toolbar button or menus to create a new class, the
selected interface will automatically be selected in the wizard. Works
for classes as super class, too.

* Note: this does not work if the .java _file_ is selected (as in the
Resource Navigator view or in the package explorer), it must be the
_class_ or _interface_ "object" that has the C or I icon next to it.

HTH,
Eric
