MkAccessors

public class MkAccessors extends Object
MkAccessors is a utility to make a series of Java "accessors" (set/get methods a la JavaBeans pattern). You're probably better off using an IDE!

Primarily meant for command-line use, but can be used from within other tools (note that all methods are static). I use it (with a shell script mkAccessors, which is 

java -classpath $HOME/classes/ext/com-darwinsys-all.jar \
com.darwinsys.util.MkAccessors $*
or something similar); in the vi or vim editors you just say 
:r !mkAccessors firstName lastName address
to generate the setFirstName/getFirstName, etc. methods right in the Java source while you're editing. Your mileage may vary if you use a less-powerful editing tool.
