Creating new live-templates with import statements in IntelliJ IDEA
Just to save a little time for new visitors here: the accepted answer now needs some changes.
Go to Settings -> Editor -> Live Templates
, select others
, add a template:
private static final org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger logger = org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager.getLogger($CLASS_NAME$.class);$END$
Then, press Edit Variables
on the left and set expression for CLASS_NAME
to className()
.
After all, set context on the bottom to Java -> Declaration
(and Groovy -> Declaration
if desired).
Imports will be magically generated on insert.
According to this post, it is intended to use only full-qualified expressions. I tried it out and this worked for me:
private static final org.apache.log4j.Logger LOG = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger($CLASS_NAME$.class);$END$
IDEA automatically shortens it and adds the necessary import statements:
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
// ...
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);
If you want to try yourself, note that you first have to define CLASS_NAME
as className()
via Edit variables. Also make sure that you allowed your Live Template for Java declarations via Change (at the bottom). Here is a screenshot with the final setup:
Now its possible to add live templates with static imports:
You have to check static import in Options

org.junit.Assert.assertThat(null, org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is(org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.nullValue()));
