Summary:	Auto-generated code for Exception handling is too verbose

Description fommil 2008-07-10 13:59:25 UTC

If I have a statement that can throw a checked exception, the hinter will suggest that the statement be surrounded in a try-catch. The catch block will 
typically have the following verbose code in it:-

Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);

However, I typically have a private static final Logger assigned to each of my classes with the field name 'log'. I would therefore rather that the 
autogenerated code read (much more tersely) as

log.severe(ex);

However, there does not appear to be a way to do this at the moment. I request that this be supported.

Good enhancement

Comment 2 Max Sauer 2008-10-15 09:38:24 UTC

This should be solved via Surround with t-c user options.
