Hi,

I'm new to Eclipse and am still fiddling with it.

Say I have the following class:

public class TestDog {
private int size;
private String name;

}

Is there a 'feature' in Eclipse that, when I right click(or select) on size,
it automatically creates both the setter and getter for that field? So
it automatically generates the following:

public class TestDog {
private int size;
private String name;

public void setSize( int pSize) { size = pSize; }
public int getSize() { return size; }

public void setName( String pName) { name = pName; }
public String getName() { return name; }

}

with a class that has a few fields, it's ok.. but if there are a lot,
it could be tedious to do that.

Oh. I just found out that by clicking on the item itself, there's a 'link'
that creates the setter and getter. And under SOurce, there's "Generate
Setters and Getters"..

Sorry for the message.
