If you are lazy like me, tend to use lengthy and verbose Java class names, then this tip is for you. When creating a new Java class file, the first thing that I do after creating it is to add the following block of text:
public class ClassName
{
}
Rather than have to type the ClassName twice (once when you first opened the new file, and then again for this block), you can use this autocmd to insert that text for you automatically:
autocmd BufNewFile *.java
\ exe "normal Opublic class " . expand('%:t:r') . "\n{\n}\<Esc>1G"
<< Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard Scancodes |
1,$ s/^M//g gets rid of control-Ms (windows carriage returns) >>

This autocommand generated multiple 'public class..{}' entries sometimes. I have no idea why...

added this to add comments on top, constructor and comments on bottom - no big deal
autocmd BufNewFile *.java
\ exe "normal O/** " . expand('%:t:r') ".java\n/ \n\npublic class " . expand('%:t:r') .
\ "\n{\n\tpublic " . expand('%:t:r') "(){}\n}\n//" . expand('%:t:r') ".java \<Esc>1G"

I use the code below to type in the package name. Otherwise I often forget to type that in and the class file goes in the wrong place. It assumes that the top-level directory is "com", which may be wrong but I couldn't think of any other way to do it.
autocmd BufNewFile *.java call InsertJavaPackage()
function! InsertJavaPackage()
let dir = getcwd()
let dir = substitute(dir, "^.*\/com\/", "com/", "")
let dir = substitute(dir, "\/", ".", "g")
let dir = "package " . dir . ";"
let result = append(0, "")
let result = append(1, dir)
let filename = expand("%")
let filename = substitute(filename, "\.java", "", "")
let result = append(2, "")
let result = append(3, "class " . filename . " {")
let result = append(4, "}")
endfunction

I always have my source code under a src dir and I often stand in the basedir and open new files with the correct path, ie:
vi src/se/hogia/innovation/Test.java
So I changed the function to this:
function! InsertJavaPackage()
let filename = expand("%")
let filename = substitute(filename, "\.java$", "", "")
let dir = getcwd() . "/" . filename
let dir = substitute(dir, "^.*\/src\/", "", "")
let dir = substitute(dir, "\/[^\/]*$", "", "")
let dir = substitute(dir, "\/", ".", "g")
let filename = substitute(filename, "^.*\/", "", "")
let dir = "package " . dir . ";"
let result = append(0, dir)
let result = append(1, "")
let result = append(2, "class " . filename . " {")
let result = append(4, "}")
endfunction

If you want to have your packages one level down from a directory like repos, then use
let dir = substitute(dir, "^.*\/repos\/.\\{-}\/", "", "")
instead of
let dir = substitute(dir, "^.*\/repos\/", "", "")
