Java Code Templates for List.of(), Map.of(), and Set.of()

Some cheap new tricks for Java Wizards!

lof mof sof, I like it!

(not sure about using var for collections by default, since types often matter but it is just a template)

@lkishalmi what would you think about also adding ilof imof and isof?

Well, since the resulted collection is immutable, I do not think the type would really matter.

Personally I would mainly use them in education space, creating sort code for demonstration purposes, and yes they are just templates.

Where i would stand for?

i for the interface on the left hand side.

ilof would be List<|> list = List.of()

it might have to put the cursor between <> first, since I am not quite sure how to automatically set the generics once the type is modified on the right hand side.

Could be done, I'd probably use llof, mmof, and ssoffor abbrevs.isofis pretty close to the commonly usediof`.

Also popped in my mind, that the List.copyOf(), etc would be more common with records, and then records with compact constructor...
