I'd like to generate method-chaining setters (setters that return the object being set), like so:
public MyObject setField (Object value) {
this.field = value;
return this;
}
This makes it easier to do one-liner instantiations, which I find easier to read:
myMethod (new MyObject ().setField (someValue).setOtherField (someOtherValue));
Can Eclipse's templates be modified to do this? I've changed the content to include return this;
but the signature is not changed.
