This dialog lets select the getter and setter methods to create.
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.
The names of the getter and setter 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 Style preference page (Windows > Preferences > Java > Code Style).
When pressing OK, all selected getters and setters are created.
