Description matthies 2009-05-06 15:02:49 UTC 
It would be useful if ${class} could be used in code templates to have the name of the current class inserted. For 
example I'd like to define a code template

    protected ${class}() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); }

to generate constructors for extendable utility (= only static members) classes.
Comment 1 _ tboudreau 2010-01-21 21:02:24 UTC 
Note this is more urgent now that I have added Logger and NbBundle templates to apisupport.project - both must use getClass(), which is more likely to be incorrect - preferable is always to use X.class.getName() but there is no way to reference the containing class from a template.  Need a code template hint for this.
Comment 2 _ tboudreau 2010-01-22 23:48:22 UTC 
Fixed in main/ 9ab6fe4a3c92

You can now do
${var currClassName editable="false"}
to use the name of the containing class to the caret position.

Log: #164597 and #179805 - ability to reference containing class in code templates, fix apisupport.project code templates (NbBundle, Logger) not to use getClass().
