Description alvarommz 2006-02-14 15:08:27 UTC
Hello.
The following are some enhancements that would be helpful in the IDE's java 
editor same as in the JSP, Html, etc editors; this enhancements are based on my 
experiences with the Eclipse IDE Editor:

a. An pop-up menu option to generate get/set member functions from attributes 
in line (that is without having to leave edition context.
b. An pop-up menu option to generate documentation comments on functions 
members, /get/set/overriding functions members, and the file and class. These 
comments are based on a template for each case, where a definition of standard 
content is applied, and once generated in the class file the programmmer will 
complete their fulfillment if required. This would act as a complement to the 
current method for generating comments (the autocomment Tool) which actually is 
a good tool.

Thank you

Hi alvarommz,
  the first thing you propose is already implemented. You can generate
getter/setter methods using code completion. Just add new variable and invoke
code completion within the class range.
