- [Instructor] Another one of my favorite features in Eclipse are code templates, some other IDE's refer to them as code snippets. These code templates help reduce typing time by inserting code into the editor, and each code template is given a short literal, and typing that literal into the editor window and pressing control-space brings up a dialog box with which a code template associated with that literal can be selected, so, basically, let's go to inside this main method and type in something like, "while".
