SLF4J Logger Template for Eclipse

In Preferences>Java>Editor>Templates, create a new template named logger in the Java type members context and with the following pattern:

/** The usual Logger.*/
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(${enclosing_type}.class);
${:import('org.slf4j.Logger','org.slf4j.LoggerFactory')}

Also, make sure that Template proposals is selected in Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced

Now, back in your code, if you type logger and hit Ctrl+Space (or Cmd+Space) and then select the logger proposal, the following code will be inserted in your Java type:

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

...

/** The usual Logger.*/
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyCurrentType.class);

Note that the import statements will be added only if required.
