Java – automatically adds private qualifiers to fields in eclipse

Is there any way to automatically add private qualifiers when declaring new variables in eclipse?

To some extent, I want to override the default access to private

Solution

I don't know how to do that

However, the way I write code is rarely necessary That's because I rarely define fields by hand; Instead, I let eclipse create them, and when it does, it makes them private

Suppose I want to create a class foo with a single field column of type int From

public class Foo {
}

Place the cursor in the class body, click control space, and then select "default constructor" from the proposal menu You now have:

public class Foo {
    public Foo() {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
}

Delete useful comments Now manually add constructor parameters for bar:

public class Foo {
    public Foo(int bar) {
    }
}

Now place the cursor over the bar declaration and click control-1 From the proposal menu, select assign parameter to new field:

public class Foo {
    private final int bar;

    public Foo(int bar) {
        this.bar = bar;

    }
}

bingo. You now have a private sphere

There is a similar sequence of automatic operations that can create a field from an existing expression in a method (first create a local variable and then promote it to a field)
