List of Quick Assists

These are the current quick assist as of I20041002 (3.1 M3)

Name
Code example
Invocation location
Inverse if statement
if (x) a(); else b();
> if (!x) b(); else a(); on 'if' statements with 'else' block
Inverse boolean expression
a && !b
> !a || b on a boolean expression
Remove extra parentheses
if ((a == b) && (c != d)  {} > if (a == b && c != d)  {} on selected expressions
Add paranoidal parentheses
if (a == b && c != d)  {} > if ((a == b) && (c != d) on selected expressions
Join nested if statements
if (a) { if (b) {} } > if (a && b) {} on a nested if statement
Swap nested if statements if (a) { if (b) {} } > if (b) { if (a) {} } on a nested if statement
Split if statement with and'ed expression
if (a && b) {}
> if (a) { if (b) {} } on an and'ed expression in a 'if'
Split if statement with or'd expression if (a || b) x();
> if (a) x();  if(b) x(); on an or'd expression in a 'if'
Inverse conditional expression
x ? b : c > !x ? c : b on a conditional expression
If-else assignment to conditional expression
if (a) x= 1; else x = 2;
> x= a ? 1 : 2; on an 'if' statement
If-else return to conditional expression if (a) return 1; else return 2; > return a ? 1 : 2; on an 'if' statement
Conditional expression assignment to If-else x= a ? 1 : 2; > if (a) x= 1; else x = 2; on a conditional expression
Conditional expression return to If-else return  a ? 1 : 2; > if (a) return 1; else return 2; on a conditional expression
Exchange operands
a + b
> b + a on an infix operation
Cast and assign
if (obj instanceof Vector) {
}
> if (obj instanceof Vector) {
    Vector vec= (Vector) obj;
}
on a instanceof expression in
an 'if' or 'while' statement
Pick out string
"abcdefgh"

"abc" + "de" + "fgh" select a part of a string literal





Split variable
int i= 0;
> int i; i= 0; On a variable with initialization
Join variable
int i; i= 0; > int i= 0 On a variable without initialization
Assign to variable
foo()
> X x= foo(); On an expression statement
Assign parameter to field
public A(int color) {}
> Color fColor;
public A(int color) {
    fColor= color;
}
On a parameter
Add finally block
try {
} catch (Expression e) {
}
> try {
} catch (Expression e) {
} finally {}
On a try/catch statement
Add else block
if (a) b();
> if (a) b(); else { } On a if statement
Replace statement with block
f (a) b();
> if (a) { b(); } On a if statement
Invert equals
a.equals(b)
> b.equals(a) On a invocation of 'equals'
Array initializer to Array creation
int[] i=  { 1, 2, 3 } > int[] i= new int[] { 1, 2, 3 } On an array initializer
Convert to 'enhanced for loop' (JDK 5.0)
for (Iterator i= c.iterator();i.hasNext();) {
}
> for (x : c) {
}
On a for loop
Create method in super class



On a method declaration
Unwrap blocks
{ a() }
> a() On blocks, if/while/for statements
Rename in file



On identifiers
