Hi,

If I want to be sure that my setters and my getters won't be redefined, it seems I can't rely on eclipse's generation.
AFAIK, there is no way to change the way eclipse generates the signature of getters and setters so as to generate the following code for instance :

public final void setProperty(final String property) {
 this.property = property;
}

It's a pain in the *** to change all the getters and setters so as to be sure that they won't be overriden.

Am I missing something about code templates ? getter/setter generation ?

Exemple of a change that could cause problems :

public class A extends Api {
 public void setProperty(final String property) {
  if (property.length() == 0) {
   property = null; // or anything else
  }
  setProperty(property);
 } 
}

Ermmm ... strange, I always thought that it meant final for setter parameters ...
sorry for bothering the forum with such a dumb question
