it is very simple, just go to Tools>Developer>New Snippet.. remove all the code there and copy paste the below code...

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[System.out.println("${1:text}");]]></content>
    <tabTrigger>sysout</tabTrigger>
    <scope>source.java</scope>
</snippet>

now press ctrl+s and give some name (make sure that you're saving file with .sublime-snippet extension) and click on save. now open any .java file and type sysout and press tab that is it...

you can also refer this article for more info..

You're looking for pl<tab> for System.out.println(|); and p<tab> for System.out.print(|);. It doesn't put the 'text', but it does put your cursor in the right place to type. Also note that, like Eclipse or IntelliJ, when you expand a Snippet, Tab will continue to move you through the positions in the Snippet until you've filled in all the blanks.

These are called "Snippets", and you can find them under Tools -> Snippets.... You can add new ones with Tools -> New Snippet....
