I want to get new Object[] for example. I think if idea makes

new Object[], then pressing ]]> same result will be done. By this way, users who create arrays in a single line will be glad too. (for example for code like:

ArrayList alFoos = new ArrayList();
.
.
.
Foo[] foos = alFoos.toArray(new Foo[]{});
return foos;
)
closing '{' will be very helpfull in my opnion.

I agree, just had this today.

ee, this example doesn't seem too useful, if you want to return a empty
array
just delete both lines and IDEA will show you the "Add Return Statement"
intention
that will generate:
return new Foo[0];

If what you want to return is alFoos as a list then delete both lines and
write return toar and hit the expand live templates key, you will get:
return (Foo[]) alFoos.toArray(new Foo[alFoos.size()]);

)
closing '{' will be very helpfull in my opnion.

Also there are some cases where we need to send to an array to a method. For example:

Class A{
...
}

Class Dummy {
public Object[]proceedAs(A[] as){
...
}
}

.
.
.
A a1 = new A(...);
A a2 = new A(...);
Dummy d = new Dummy();
Object[] results = d.proceedAs(new A[]{a1,a2});
.
.
.

Also if '{' is closed by default with '}', still gives the same result with pressing after '{' when it is not closed automatically. One of the points I love Idea is it is coded to help programmer to make minimum keystrokes. For example for new created methods, IDEA shows it's intelligence to make method like: . . . private automaticCreatedMethod(someParameters) {# #################################################### } . . . Here '#' means selected line. By this way if user press enter the he will have: . . . private automaticCreatedMethod(someParameters){ } . . . Also if he write another key, he will have . . . private automaticCreatedMethod(someParameters) { i]]>}
.
.
.
which is a one line method especially usefull for very short methods.

There are always cases where a structure like "XXX[]{..}". So I think it should be closed automatically.

PS: 'toar' live template works only for collections. It does not work for arraylists. For programmers who use arraylists, I attached a live template named "conar" which makes same job with "toar".

You are right. Fill a feature request.

PS: 'toar' live template works only for collections. It does not work for
arraylists. For programmers who use arraylists, I attached a live
template named "conar" which makes same job with "toar".

PS: IDEA knows that an ArrayList is a Collection, so toar works fine.
