Java Cursor Rules

Java-Specific Rules

Cursor rules in Java provide intelligent navigation and manipulation capabilities designed specifically for Java development. These rules help you work more efficiently with Java's object-oriented features and language constructs.

Code Navigation

• Navigate between class and method definitions
• Jump to interface implementations
• Move between package declarations

Smart Selection

• Select method blocks and annotations
• Expand selection to include class members
• Smart generic type selection

Code Manipulation

• Quick class and method insertion
• Automated annotation handling
• Package and import navigation

Best Practices

• Use class-aware navigation
• Leverage method-specific cursor movements
• Utilize annotation-aware selection

Examples

// Navigate between class and interface implementations
public interface Printable {
    void print();
}

public class Document implements Printable {
    private String content;

    @Override
    public void print() {
        System.out.println(content);
    }
}

// Smart selection of annotations and generics
@Service
public class DataHandler<T extends Comparable<T>> {
    @Autowired
    private Repository<T> repository;

    public List<T> processData() {
        return repository.findAll();
    }
}

Configuration

Customize Java-specific cursor rules in your settings:

{
  "java.cursorRules": {
    "classNavigation": true,
    "smartSelection": true,
    "annotationHandling": true
  }
}
