Tempate or HotKeys? Can Inserting Commit be made easy with IntelliJ

I have a question about IntelliJ and I dont know if the following can be done with Temapaltes or Hotkeys or something.  As I am coding I like to put in comments in the following format:

/*
    / Date: 02.25.12
    / Author: xxx xxx
    / Email: jxxx
    / Commit:
    /    Added the new fields based on request XXX.
    /
    */

Can I somehow setup a easy way with IntelliJ to press a key or something to insert this into my code

Hello,

That's called live templates at our domain. Please check the corresponding reference section.

You can create your own:

  1. In Settings, go to Live Templates
  2. Add a new template with the abbreviation "date"
  3. For "template text", specify 
    $date$
    .  Now the "Edit Variables" button should be enabled.
  4. Edit the variables, and set 
    $date$
    to use the expression 
    date()
    .
  5. Enable "Java comment" under the template's context and click OK.

Now when you type "date" and use the default completion gesture (Tab) it will replace "date" with the current date.

Oh, sorry, I mixed Live Templates and File Templates - the later has {DATE} binding.

I think you can create a simple plugin which has a single action which provides that template text with necessary arguments. Alternatively you can try this scripting plugin - intellij-eval for achieving that.

Oh, there is an existing date() binding at live templates, cool ;)
