For e.g ,if you want to have main method in your class,then type main and then press ctrl + space, select main and template of main method will be ready for you.

In the last two screenshots we will see settings for getting these templates work in eclipse.Basically you need to go to Windows ->Preferences->Java->Editor->Templates.There we will find templates for all these shortcuts and for a shortcut  to work, checkbox against that particular template needs to be checked.We can add custom template as well.
