How to add import in "Implemented Method Body" in IntelliJ IDEA: Settings -> Editor -> File and Code Template -> Implemented Method Body?

Question

I set Java's "Implemented Method Body" (Settings -> Editor -> File and Code Template -> Implemented Method Body) to throw new NotImplementedException();.

But NotImplementedException requires import sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.NotImplementedException;.

So how can I add this import automatically?

Answer 1

You can use the fully qualified name of the exception class in the template; IntelliJ IDEA will automatically shorten it and add the necessary import.

Note that this NotImplementedException is from an internal JDK package, so it's unlikely to be a good idea to use it in your code. You should find a more suitable class from the public JDK API, such as UnsupportedOperationException.
