In IDEA, there are two features related to variable creation that I miss in
Eclipse. You can type this in IDEA:
myarray.length|
// note the cursor at the end doesn't select the whole expression
// and there is no semicolon
.... then hit the shortcut for 'Introduce Variable' and you get
int length = myarray.length;
// note also the added semicolon
In Eclipse, I have to have syntactically correct code in order to
introduce local variable. In this case, you have to use the expression somewhere.
Are there any known plans to enable this kind of usage in Eclipse?
Thanks

Hi Richard,
If myarray.length instead were a method invocation, Eclipse's Quick
Assist would suggest to assign the return value to a local variable
(provided you add the semicolon yourself first). However, since
variables by themselves are not syntactically correct, this is not
suggested.
I agree that it would be nice to have this kind of assistance. You might
want to add a bug report.
Best regards,
Jesper
