In BlueJ, is there a way to stop it from autofilling new classes with examples?-CodePudding

When I create a new class in BlueJ, it automatically adds an example field, constructor and method. Every time I create a new class, I have to delete these- it's mildly annoying. I cannot find a setting to turn this off. Is it possible?

I found this on the web.

On Mac OS :

Navigate to your BlueJ.app
ctrl click on it and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu.
Navigate to "Contents/Resources/Java/english/templates/newclass".
Duplicate the file "stdclass.tmpl" and name it "customclass.tmpl".
Open this file with a text editor and put in what you want to show up in your new custom class. Note that the variable "$CLASSNAME" will dynamically put in the name of the new class that you type in the dialog box so you may want to keep that in when declaring your class.
Now, go up two directories to the "english" directory and look for a file called "labels".
Open this with a text editor and look for the line "pkgmgr.newClass.stdclass=Class".
Create a new line after this line and type the following "pkgmgr.newClass.customclass=Custom Class".
Save your files, close them up and restart BlueJ. You will notice that when you go to create a new class you will have the option to check "Custom Class"

On Windows :

Navigate to where you installed BlueJ (in my case it was C:\BlueJ)
go into lib\english\templates\newclass
Duplicate the file "stdclass.tmpl" and name it "customclass.tmpl".
Open this file with a text editor and put in what you want to show up in your new custom class. Note that the variable "$CLASSNAME" will dynamically put in the name of the new class that you type in the dialog box so you may want to keep that in when declaring your class.
Now, go up two directories to the "english" directory and look for a file called "labels".
Open this with a text editor and look for the line "pkgmgr.newClass.stdclass=Class".
Create a new line after this line and type the following "pkgmgr.newClass.customclass=Custom Class".
