Example using Arrays: 

      int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 };
      Arrays.stream(array).forEach(System.out::println);

In my understanding, most support for stream processing is already covered by code completion, since most stream processing follows a fluent pattern.

So, what should the template produce?

Input: array
Output: Arrays.stream(array)
?

I don't think that forEach is more relevant than any other method on Stream, is it?

I believe it should produce Arrays.stream(array).forEach(); and place the cursor inside the forEach parameter, just like the for code completion templates do.

Why should a template favor forEach over any other method of Stream?

I see that as an evolution to the for-each statement. Obviously that is not so clear unless there is a code template to help
