Intellij generate static final fields

in a project I need to create many fields with the same type and access modifier
is there a way in intellij to generate public static final fields?

Solution

  • Type all names on separate lines, select the lines and do a regex replace for the selection.

    (\w+)

public static final XYZ $1 = new XYZ("$1");

    Being comfortable with regex in editing belongs to a developer's basic tools.

    By the way interfaces do not need public static final; that is implicit.
