Create getter and setter

This dialog lets select the Getter and Setter methods to create.

Use Generate Getter and Setter from the Source menu or the context menu on a selected field or type, or a text selection in a type to open the dialog.
The Generate Getter and Setter dialog shows Getter and Setters for all fields of the selected type. The methods are grouped by the type's fields.

The names of the getting and setting methods are derived from the field name. If you use a prefix or suffix for fields (e.g. fValue, _value, val_m), you can specify the suffixes and prefixes in the Code Generation preference page (Windows > Preferences > Java > Code Generation).
