Hello friends,
In Eclipse (3.4+ upwards), I was searching for shortcut which converts the if {} else {} condition block to the java ternary operator[or the ?: operator ]
can you guide me, how to do i do this ?
Thank you!

A:
There is no such shortcut. Refactoring statements into expressions isn't a trivial process, and isn't always possible to begin with. The process would be too complicated to be automated.
That said, Ctrl+Shift+L will list ALL Eclipse shortcuts.

@poly thanks for reply,but wouldn't it be possible if the assignment is done only once? by eclipse-template configuration or something else?

@Narayan: check this out: http://ideone.com/66SrI ; the rules to do this automatic refactoring would have to be very complicated.

@polygenelubricants: ok, i take your point.; but every time i need to check something as simple like this http://ideone.com/p0GC1 , i feel the need for it, like Select the expression and press that magical key =]

@Narayan: as I said in the comment to the question, I'd be happy to see this implemented in Eclipse too. It can be done of course, I just don't think it's that easy.

Well, you could add a Template to Eclipse like this:
${condition:field(boolean)}? ${positive:field(void)}: ${negative:field(void)};
Name it something like tern and you can have it auto-create the ternary operator for you.
(Not sure if this is what you want)

I think they are looking to highlight an existing if/else block and have it automagically converted to a ternary statement

@jinguy, +1 for the template but the template outputs something like `condition? positive: negative;`, isnt much helpful =[
