Intellij IDEA copy package + class name for Spring application config

Is there a quick way to copy class package + name to the clip board, e.g.

de.mypackage.unit.HelloWorld

As a Spring developer I need this on a regular basis to define beans in the application-context.xml and I find myself copy and pasting the stuff manually this wasting valuable seconds.

I am aware of Ctrl + Alt + Shift + c to copy class references, but the format is not quite right:

de/mypackage/unit/HelloWorld.java:73

"Copy Reference" puts multiple formats to the clipboard. At least that's what I presume after a quick test. IIRC, this behaviour changed some month ago.

  • Pasting into a javadoc comment section puts the fully qualified class or method name.
  • Pasting somewhere else in the file, or into another application, only gives you the class or method name.

If you put your caret on the class name, the "Copy Reference" action (Ctrl-Alt-Shift-C) will put exactly what you need into the clipboard.

Note that IntelliJ IDEA supports class name completion in application-context.xml as well.
