This is a template for easily creating an implementation of the Singleton Pattern on Eclipse. Open Window->Preferences->Java->Editor->Templates click on New and insert the code below on the pattern text area; add a name (I suggest "singleton") - whenever you type this name and press Ctrl+Space the code will be inserted in your class - and you're good to go.

   1  
   2  private static ${enclosing_type} instance;
   3  
   4  private ${enclosing_type}(){}
   5  
   6  public static ${enclosing_type} getInstance(){
   7  	if(null == instance){
   8  		instance = new ${enclosing_type}();
   9  	}
  10  	return instance;
  11  }
