Actually, iabbr also allows you to position the cursor:
iabbr sout System.out.println("");<Left><Left><Left>
However, triggering this iabbr with, for example, sout<Tab> will place
a tab inside the "" which I don't think you want. Your mapping may
therefore be better for your purposes.

This exits insert mode (albeit briefly) which could have some
unintended side effects. Also, you don't need to insert a literal tab
character, you can use <Tab> (exactly like that, as text with '<' and
'>' characters) in your mapping. This should work in exactly the same
way without the side effects:
imap sout<Tab> System.out.println("");<Left><Left><Left>

Actually, it gets set each time you edit java code in Vim. Not if you
use Vim to edit a .c file, or a .txt file. Probably a good idea to do
it this way, then.
