Java Solutions

Solution 1 - Java

Type the first letter of your class, then press Ctrl+Space, Eclipse will list suggestions within a combobox. The topmost suggestion is the default constructor. Press Enter, it will be done. (I'm using Eclipse Juno and it works.)

Solution 2 - Java

Alt+Shift+s and then o opens the Generate Constructor using Fields dialog.

Solution 3 - Java

Goto Source ---> Generate constructor using Fields

Under Source Title bar, select the Generate constructor using Fields option.

Or

Ctrl+Space which displays the various suggestions possible, from there you can go for the default contructor.

Solution 4 - Java

Ways to Generate default Constructor -

  1. Press Ctl + Space

Ways to Generate field Constructor -

  1. Press Alt + Shift + S + O
  2. Right click -> Source -> Generate Constructor using field
  3. Go to Source menu -> Generate Constructor using field
  4. Go to Windows menu -> Preferences -> General -> Keys (Write Generate Constructor using field on text field)

Solution 5 - Java

When you hit CTRL-SPACE inside your class definition, you will see a drop down. First option is your Constructor.

Solution 6 - Java

For Mac Users it is

Option + Command(⌘) + S or

Command(⌘) + Option + S will open the pop up.

Solution 7 - Java

Or you could type Ctrl + 3 and type GCUF, what means. Generate Constructor Using Field. Do almost the same to generate getters and setters: Type Ctrl + 3 and type GGAS, what means, Generate Getters And Setters

Solution 8 - Java

There are several ways you can follow.

  1. easiest:- put the cursor inside the class and Ctrl + Space then click Enter (because the first option of the list given by ctrl+ space is contructor)

  2. Ctrl + 3 type "constr" . hit Enter. you'll get the dialog box of generate constructor. here you can select whether you want the parameter or not. select and hit Enter

  3. Click Alt + Shift + s then click o You will get the same dialog box mentioned in the above (2). Do your selection. hit Enter

Solution 9 - Java

I think CTRL + 3 is great.

GCFS - generate constructors from a superclass. GCUF - generate constructor using fields. GGAS - generate getters and setters.

Solution 10 - Java

I think shortcut key to generate Constructors is outdated. Alt+Shift+s and then press A opens the Generate Constructor using Fields dialog
