Is there a way to automatically generate getters and setters in Eclipse

Question

I am working on a new Android project  Java   and created an Object with a large number of variables  Since I am planning to add getters and setters for all of them  I was wondering  is there a shortcut in Eclipse for automatically generating the getters and setters in a given class

User · Answer

Right click - gt  Source - gt  Generate setters and getters  But to make it even more convenient  I always map this to ALT SHIFT G from Windows - gt  Preferences  - gt  General - gt  Keys

All the other answers are just focus on the IDE level  these are not the most effective and elegant way to generate getters and setters   If you have tens of attributes  the relevant getters and setters methods will make your class code very verbose   The best way I ever used to generate getters and setters automatically is using project lombok annotations in your java project  lombok jar will generate getter and setter method when you compile java code    You just focus on class attributes variables naming and definition  lombok will do the rest  This is easy to maintain your code    For example  if you want to add getter and setter method for age variable  you just add two lombok annotations     Getter  Setter  public int age   10    This is equal to code like that   private int age   10  public int getAge         return age    public void setAge int age        this age   age      You can find more details about lombok here  Project Lombok

Yes  Right-click on code and you see a menu pop up  there  Source    Generate Getters and Setters  and next to it you can see the shortcut  which is Alt Shift S and R on my system   Similarly you can navigate to other submenus in that main menu  by typing the appropriate shortcut you go straight the submenu instead of main context menu  and can then either pick from menu or type another letter to pick from the list

Sure      Use Generate Getters and Setters 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 Getters and Setters dialog shows getters and setters for all fields of the selected type  The methods are grouped by the type s fields    Take a look at the help documentation for more information

There is an open source jar available know as Lombok    you just add jar and then annotate your POJO with  Getter  amp   Setter it will create getters and setters automatically   Apart from this we can use other features like  ToString   EqualsAndHashCode and pretty other cool stuff which removes vanilla code from your application

I prefer to create the private field first  private String field    Eclipse will auto highlight the variable  by positioning cursor over your new variable  press Ctrl   1  It will then give you the menu to Create getter and setter   I press Ctrl   1 because it is a bit more intelligent about what I think you want next

Use Project Lombok or better Kotlin for your Pojos    Also  to add Kotlin to your resume       This    public class BaseVO       protected Long id        Override     public boolean equals Object obj            if  obj    null    id    null              return false           if  obj instanceof BaseVO              return   BaseVO  obj  getId   equals id            return false               Override     public int hashCode             return id    null   null   id hashCode                 getter setter here    public class Subclass extends BaseVO       protected String name      protected String category         getter setter here     would become this    open class BaseVO var id  Long    null         override fun hashCode    Int           if  id    null              return id hashCode            return super hashCode              override fun equals other  Any    Boolean           if  id    null    other    null    other  is BaseVO              return false          return id hashCode      other id  hashCode             Suppress  unused   class Subclass          var name  String    null          var category  String    null     BaseVO     Or use Kotlin s  data  classes  You end up writing even fewer lines of code
