Java template within a string [message #300574]

Hi All,

I use WSAD 5.1 at work and I have the following Java template (Windows >
Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates) defined:

[" + ${cursor} + "]

This is great for me to break up a string easily and insert some
variable.. It provides a shortcut for doing something like this:

System.println("Value of x is [" + x + "].");

My problem is that under Eclipse 3.1.1, I can't use Java templates from
within a string anymore! Is this something I can control with a setting
somewhere? It is a shame to drop this template just cos' I am in a string!

Any help most appreciated!

Rob

Templates are not available in strings. However, you can do what you
want by using "Quick Assist": select the string you want to extract and
press Ctrl+1, then choose "Pick out selected part of the string".
