Description gualtiero65 2015-10-08 19:54:48 UTC 
It would be very useful to have enclosing info as template variables.

By enclosing I mean the name of the package/class/method where the code template is created.

Like what is available in Eclipse: 
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2FgettingStarted%2Fqs-EditorTemplates.htm

See ${enclosing_type} which gives the name of the class so you can create a template like this:

private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.get(${enclosing_type}.class);

which will be expanded with the class name.

Reassigned for further evaluation.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2015-10-09 16:26:48 UTC 
Looks like a reasonable enhancement.
