The Source Editor has a set of customizable abbreviations that you can use. When you type an abbreviation and then press the spacebar, the abbreviation is expanded into a whole word or phrase.

For example, if you type Psfb in a Java file and then press the spacebar, these letters are expanded to public static final boolean.

Other Java abbreviations include:

ca for catch (
ex for extends
sout for (System.out.println("")

You can modify existing abbreviations and create new abbreviations. Choose Tools > Options. Expand the Editing node and the Editor Settings node. Select an editor type and click the Abbreviations property. Click the ellipsis (...) button to open the Abbreviations property editor.
