Description Petr Slegr 2001-07-26 18:03:19 UTC 
When I write code I often will use some field in method body before I will
declare it. For same cases (ESPECIALLY for constants) would be useful New ->
Field action enhancement:

On proper token in editor (i.e. correct Java identifier) it would be possible
via some shortcut invoke New Field dialog where following items would be prefilled:
 - name - from written token
 - type - guessed from context
 - some modifier - e.g. for uppercase identifier "public static final" modifiers
would be offered.

Now user could modify thes values, complete initial value if needed and by OK
comit changes to source and then continue in coding without jump to place for
fields declaration and back...

This should be addressed by a tasklist module (suggestions feature).
