java - Setting auto complete shortcuts in Eclipse

Question

When programming Java in Eclipse, I can type syso and press control+space to auto-complete this and get System.out.println();. I was wondering if there are settings somewhere in Eclipse to allow me to set other shortcuts of this form. (For instance, I'd like to type syscur and have this auto-complete to System.currentTimeMillis();.)

You can do this here: Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Templates. You can also add a Template View, which you find at Window -> Show View -> Other -> Search for Templates.
