Auto capitalize type name [message #1236249]

Hello guys!

I'm very new to Eclipse and currently experiencing some inconveniences here.
Could you please advise whether there is any possibility (either setting or tool) to perform auto capitalization of type names when coding on Java.

For example, when I type following:
string test;

to make it automatically modified as follows:
String test;

Maybe there is any useful toolkit you could suggest?

Thanks in advance
Den

You can use auto complete for this. After you type string press
Ctrl->Space. Eclipse will propose the capitalized String for you to select.

If you already have string test entered, Eclipse should underline string
to indicate that it isn't known. You can use Quick Fix to automatically
get the correct name. Press Ctrl-1 to invoke Quick Fix. You may need
to mover the cursor to string before Quick Fix will be able to work.

Thanks David!

Will use these features, however I thought there is something like in VS when you don't need to pay attention on char case when typing data types.

Currently migrating to Linux/Eclipse/Java development from .NET so will try to adapt Smile

Thank you
