Description

« Hide

Sometimes I have private static final constants that I'd like to make configurable.
I have to do this by hand, t.i. rename them from uppercase to camelcase, remove the 'static final' modifiers and introduce setters for them.

Would be nice to have an intention for that over constant fields: it should prompt:

whether I'd like to introduce a setter, constructor argument or none
whether I'd like to initialize the field in its declaration, initializer or constructor
name of the field, default is original name camelcased

You suggest to have so many prompts that the time saved compared to perform all these steps manually is minimal. One thing which we can do (you can file a separate JIRA request for this) is make it easier to rename the field by offering the camel-cased name as a suggestion in the combobox.

If these prompts are in a single dialog and have sensible default values, then the time saved is more noticeable.
However, now this issue seems a lot less important to me than it was when I reported it
