try this:
out<tab>

configurable in:
Configure > Options > Code Templates

(this might be Pro only)

Yeah, that is a pro only feature, but it's really worth it!  I never write another for loop again - I just say for<enter> and then add the arguments!  This is one of JCreator's best features, even if it exists in most other IDEs as well.

Just in case you're wondering, I do talk to myself.

Code templates are not just for the defaults.  You can create totally new ones as well.  For instance, one of my favourites goes like this:
You type: "
You press:<enter>
JCreator completes the string literal: "|"
the '|' being where the cursor is put.  I haven't tried putting two of those in a template before.  This is really powerful, so you can do stuff like
import<enter>
JCreator completes the imports you most often use:

CODE

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

I like to hear myself talk/type, too.
