# Templates

Templates are a structured description of coding patterns that reoccur in source code. The AspectJ editor supports the use of templates supplies by the Java development tools (JDT), as well as several defined by the AspectJ development tools. Templates are inserted using content assist (Ctrl+Space).

Templates can be browsed in Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Templates. You can also create your own templates or edit the existing ones. Please see the Java development user guide for more information on templates.
